Which example is not a solution with a solid solvent?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Soda water
In soda water, water is the solvent and it is liquid; carbon dioxide is the gaseous solute. Hence soda water is a gas-in-liquid solution and does not have a solid solvent, so option A is correct. Brass has a solid metal solvent, hydrogen dissolves in solid palladium, and mercury dissolves in solid sodium. Those three examples therefore have solid solvents.
