Which option correctly links the solution type with the state of its solvent?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: In a gaseous solution, the solvent is a gas
The broad type of a solution is generally named from the physical state of its solvent, the continuous medium. Thus a gaseous solution has a gaseous solvent; air is a familiar example. A solid solution has a solid solvent, and a liquid solution has a liquid solvent. Water is not compulsory, because solutions can be non-aqueous and can also be solid or gaseous.
