Which option correctly states the states of solute and solvent?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: In soda water, the solute is a gas and the solvent is a liquid
Soda water contains carbon dioxide dissolved in water. Carbon dioxide is gaseous, while water is liquid, so option A correctly states the solute and solvent states. Salt water instead has a solid salt solute and liquid water solvent. Air mainly consists of gaseous components, not a liquid solute and solid solvent. Therefore B, C, and D are incorrect.
