If both solute and solvent are solids, which is a suitable example?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Brass
Brass is an alloy in which the component metals are solid and are uniformly mixed. One metal acts as the major solid solvent and the other as the solid solute, so brass is a solid-in-solid solution. Oxygenated water and soda water use liquid water as solvent, while air is a gaseous mixture; therefore those options do not meet the stated condition.
