Match List-I (solution) with List-II (type of solution).
| List-I | List-II |
| (A) Soda water | (I) Gas in solid |
| (B) Sugar solution | (II) Gas in gas |
| (C) Air | (III) Solid in liquid |
| (D) Hydrogen gas in palladium | (IV) Gas in liquid |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
A solution is named by the physical state of the solute (the component present in smaller amount) and of the solvent (the component present in larger amount, which decides the physical state of the solution).
(A) Soda water — This matches (IV) Gas in liquid. Carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in water under pressure.
(B) Sugar solution — This matches (III) Solid in liquid. Solid sugar is dissolved in liquid water, like glucose dissolved in water.
(C) Air — This matches (II) Gas in gas. Air is mainly a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen gases.
(D) Hydrogen gas in palladium — This matches (I) Gas in solid. Hydrogen gas is taken up by solid palladium metal.
