Which option names the solution in the wrong order?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Liquid solute and solid solvent: solid in liquid solution
The naming rule writes the state of the solute first and the state of the solvent second. Therefore a gaseous solute in a liquid solvent is gas in liquid, and a solid solute in a liquid solvent is solid in liquid. A liquid solute in a solid solvent must be called liquid in solid, not solid in liquid. Option C reverses the states and is incorrect; A, B, and D follow the rule.
