| List I | List II |
| A. Soda water | I. A solution of gas in gas |
| B. Sugar solution | II. A solution of solid in solid |
| C. German Silver | III. A Solution of solid in liquid |
| D. Air | IV. A solution of gas in liquid |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
A solution is named by the physical state of the solute and of the solvent: the book’s nine types (Table 1.1 below) run from gas in gas to solid in solid.
(A) Soda water — This matches (IV) A solution of gas in liquid. \( \ce{CO2} \) gas is dissolved in water under pressure, like oxygen dissolved in water in the table.
(B) Sugar solution — This matches (III) A Solution of solid in liquid. Solid sugar is dissolved in water, like glucose dissolved in water.
(C) German Silver — This matches (II) A solution of solid in solid. It is an alloy of copper, zinc and nickel, like copper dissolved in gold.
(D) Air — This matches (I) A solution of gas in gas. It is mainly oxygen and other gases mixed with nitrogen.
