If ethanol and water mix completely to form a uniform liquid, what type of solution is it?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Liquid in liquid
Ethanol and water are both liquids. Because they mix completely and form a uniform phase, the mixture is classified according to the physical states of its components as a liquid-in-liquid solution. One liquid functions as the solute and the other as the solvent. No solid or gas is involved, so options B, C, and D do not fit. Option A is correct.
