The presence of carbon dioxide in soda water represents which type of solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Gas in liquid
A solution is classified by the physical states of its solute and solvent. Carbon dioxide is a gas, while water is a liquid solvent; therefore soda water is a gas-in-liquid solution. It is not gas in gas because water is not gaseous, and it is not a solid solution because the solvent is not solid. Hence option B is correct.
