Which option gives a correct example and reason for a gas in solid solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Hydrogen in palladium, because hydrogen is a gas and palladium is a solid.
A solution is classified by the physical states of its solute and solvent. In hydrogen-in-palladium, hydrogen is the gaseous solute and palladium is the solid solvent; hydrogen occupies spaces within the metal lattice, so this is a gas-in-solid solution. Camphor in nitrogen is solid in gas, soda water is gas in liquid, and air is gas in gas. Therefore A is the only correct example and reason.
