What is the main difference between gas in liquid and liquid in gas?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: In the first the solvent is liquid, in the second the solvent is gas
The governing concept is the order of solute and solvent in a solution description. Gas in liquid means a gas is the solute and a liquid is the solvent, as carbon dioxide in soda water. Liquid in gas means a liquid is the solute and a gas is the solvent, such as a vapour mixed with air. Thus the solvent states differ exactly as option A states; the other choices confuse or deny the component roles.
