Which option gives a correct example and reason for a solid in solid solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Brass, because solid metals are uniformly mixed.
Brass is a homogeneous solid solution, commonly described as an alloy of copper and zinc. Copper and zinc are both solids, and their atoms are mixed throughout the solid metallic phase. Soda water is gas in liquid, air is gas in gas, and oxygen dissolved in water is gas in liquid. Since option A is the only one whose solute and solvent are both solids, it is correct.
