Which statement correctly differentiates gas in solid and solid in gas?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Gas in solid has solid solvent and solid in gas has gaseous solvent
In gas-in-solid, the gaseous component is the solute and the solid component is the solvent. In solid-in-gas, the solid component is the solute and the gaseous component is the solvent. Therefore the solvent changes from solid to gas when the order is reversed. Neither type is necessarily aqueous, because aqueous requires water as solvent.
