Which example correctly shows both a solid in solid solution and a solid solvent?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Zinc in copper
A solid-in-solid solution has a solid solute uniformly incorporated into a solid solvent. In option A, zinc is the solid solute and copper is the solid solvent; together they can form a solid alloy or solid solution. Oxygen in water is gas in liquid, sugar in water is solid in liquid, and ethanol in water is liquid in liquid, so none of those matches.
