In which example is a solid solvent present?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Brass
Brass is a solid alloy, so its major metallic component can act as a solid solvent and the other metal as a solid solute. Salt water and sugar water have liquid water as the solvent. In soda water, water is also the liquid solvent and carbon dioxide is the dissolved gas. Thus brass is the only example with a solid solvent.
