If a solution is described as liquid in solid, which statement is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The solute is liquid and the solvent is solid
In expressions such as “liquid in solid,” the first state names the solute and the second state names the solvent or medium. Therefore “liquid in solid” means a liquid solute uniformly distributed in a solid solvent. It does not mean a solid solute in a liquid solvent; that reverse combination would be called “solid in liquid.”
