Which option correctly gives an example and the state of its solute?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: In soda water, the solute is a gas
Soda water contains carbon dioxide dissolved in water. Carbon dioxide is a gas, so it is the gaseous solute, while water is the liquid solvent. Brass is a solid alloy, air is primarily a mixture of gases, and salt water has solid salt as its solute. Therefore only the statement about soda water correctly identifies the solute state.
