What is the correct category of the solution formed when glucose dissolves in water?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Solid in liquid
Glucose is a solid substance at room temperature, and water is a liquid solvent. When glucose dissolves uniformly in water, the physical-state combination is described as a solid solute in a liquid solvent, or a solid-in-liquid solution. The other choices incorrectly treat either the solute or the solvent as a gas or reverse their states.
