If both the solvent and solute are solids, which is the correct example?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Brass
Brass is a homogeneous alloy made mainly by combining solid metals, commonly copper and zinc. In the classification used here, one solid metal acts as the solvent and the other as the solid solute, giving a solid-in-solid solution. Soda water and oxygen in water have liquid solvents, while camphor in nitrogen has a gaseous solvent.
