If the solvent is a gas and the solute is a liquid, which example is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Chloroform in nitrogen
Chloroform is a liquid, so it can be identified as the liquid solute in this example. Nitrogen is a gas and serves as the gaseous solvent. The mixture is therefore liquid in gas. Salt in water is solid in liquid, hydrogen in palladium is gas in solid, and brass is solid in solid, so none of those satisfies both required states.
