In which example is the solute gas and the solvent solid?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Hydrogen in palladium
The solute is the substance dissolved, and the solvent is the medium that holds it. Hydrogen is gaseous, while palladium is a solid metal; hydrogen dissolved in palladium is therefore a gas-in-solid solution. Salt in water is solid in liquid, air is gas in gas, and ethanol in water is liquid in liquid. Hence A is correct.
