Based on the physical states of the solute and the solvent,...

Based on the physical states of the solute and the solvent, identify the incorrect match from the following examples of solutions:

Options

  1. AGas in solid : Solution of hydrogen in palladium
  2. BSolid in gas : Camphor in nitrogen gas
  3. CLiquid in gas : Chloroform mixed with nitrogen gas
  4. DLiquid in solid : Copper dissolved in gold

Correct answer

D. Liquid in solid : Copper dissolved in gold

Step-by-step solution

Solution of hydrogen in palladium is an example of a gas in solid solution, where hydrogen is the gas and palladium is the solid.

Camphor in nitrogen gas is an example of a solid in gas solution, where camphor is the solid and nitrogen is the gas.

Chloroform mixed with nitrogen gas is an example of a liquid in gas solution, where chloroform is the liquid and nitrogen is the gas.

Copper dissolved in gold is an example of a solid in solid solution, as both copper and gold are solids at room temperature. An example of a liquid in solid solution is an amalgam of mercury with sodium.

Thus, the match 'Liquid in solid : Copper dissolved in gold' is incorrect.

Answer: Liquid in solid : Copper dissolved in gold
