Which option gives a correct example and reason for a solid in gas solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Camphor in nitrogen, because camphor is solid and nitrogen is a gas.
The classification is determined by the states of solute and solvent, listed in that order. Camphor is the solid solute and nitrogen is the gaseous solvent, so camphor in nitrogen is a solid-in-gas solution. Hydrogen in palladium is gas in solid, salt in water is solid in liquid, and brass is solid in solid. Hence only A provides the requested example and justification.
