Salt dissolved in water is which type of solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Solid in liquid
Salt is a solid before it dissolves, and water is a liquid solvent. Dissolving does not change the classification of the solute based on its original physical state for this school-level question. Thus salt in water is a solid-in-liquid solution. Liquid-liquid, gas-gas and gas-in-solid descriptions do not fit the two components.
