If a solution has a gaseous solute and a solid solvent, what type of solution is it called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Gas in solid
The relevant rule is that the solute state is named first and the solvent state second. A gaseous solute dissolved in a solid solvent is therefore called a gas-in-solid solution. Hydrogen dissolved in palladium is a standard illustration: hydrogen is gaseous and palladium is solid. Options B, C, and D use the wrong order or the wrong solvent state, so A is correct.
