Which option gives a correct example and reason for a solid in liquid solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Salt water, because salt is solid and water is liquid.
The governing rule is that the first state in a solution description belongs to the solute and the second to the solvent. In salt water, sodium chloride is the solid solute and water is the liquid solvent, so it is a solid-in-liquid solution. Air is gas in gas, brass is solid in solid, and camphor in nitrogen is solid in gas. Therefore only A gives both a correct example and a correct reason.
