Which option gives an incorrect type of solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Glucose in water — solid in solid
A solution is classified by the physical states of its solute and solvent. Air is generally treated as a gas-in-gas solution because its components are gases. Soda water contains carbon dioxide gas dissolved in liquid water, so it is gas in liquid. Brass is a solid alloy and is classified as solid in solid. In glucose solution, glucose is a solid solute but water is a liquid solvent; therefore it is solid in liquid, not solid in solid. Hence D is incorrect.
