Question

Fog is a solution of:

• A. Liquid in gas
• B. Gas in liquid
• C. Solid in gas
• D. Gas in gas

Hint:

Fog is formed when water vapor condenses into tiny droplets suspended in the air, creating a liquid-in-gas mixture.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Fog is a solution of liquid in gas. In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. When identifying the constituents of a solution, the terms solute and solvent are used. In this context, fog is formed when tiny droplets of a liquid (usually water) are dispersed in a surrounding gas (air). This type of solution is commonly referred to as an aerosol.

In the given options:

• Liquid in gas - This accurately describes fog, as it consists of liquid water droplets suspended in air.
• Gas in liquid - This would refer to a different type of solution, such as soda water (carbon dioxide in water).
• Solid in gas - This describes smoke or another form of particulate matter in air.
• Gas in gas - This refers to a homogeneous mixture of gases, like the air itself.

Therefore, the correct answer is Liquid in gas.
