In which condition will a mixture be called a gaseous solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When solvent is gas
A gaseous solution has a gas as its continuous medium, so its solvent is gaseous. The solute may be another gas and, in suitable examples, may be a liquid or solid substance dispersed at the molecular level. A solid solute alone does not make a gaseous solution, water gives an aqueous liquid solution, and heterogeneity contradicts the definition of a solution.
