If solvent is liquid and solute is gas, which example is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Soda water
In soda water, carbon dioxide is the gaseous solute and water is the liquid solvent. Thus it is a gas-in-liquid solution. Air is gas-in-gas, brass is solid-in-solid, and chloroform in nitrogen is liquid-in-gas. The important distinction is the state of the dissolved substance versus the dissolving medium.
