What type of solution is the iodine in air?
Options
- ALiquid in solid
- BSolid in gas
- CSolid in liquid
- DLiquid in gas
Correct answer
B. Solid in gas
Step-by-step solution
Iodine, when present in air, typically exists as iodine vapor ( I ₂ ) or as a liquid mist (sublimated iodine), where small droplets of liquid iodine are dispersed in the air. This means that iodine is in a liquid phase but is dispersed in the gas phase (air).
