If the last word in the type of solution is gas, what does it indicate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The solvent is gas
The governing naming pattern is solute in solvent: the first term identifies the solute and the final term identifies the solvent. Therefore, if the last word is gas, the solvent is gaseous. The whole solution is generally classified as gaseous because the solvent forms its continuous phase. This does not require the solute also to be a gas; it could be solid or liquid, so A, C, and D are incorrect.
