Which option correctly combines classification by solute-solvent states and by solvent state?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Salt in water: solid in liquid solution and liquid solution
In salt water, salt is the solid solute and water is the liquid solvent, so it is a solid-in-liquid solution. The overall state follows the solvent, making it a liquid solution. Soda water is gas in liquid, brass is generally solid in solid, and air is gas in gas. Thus only option A gives both classifications correctly.
