Question

Solution of chloroform in nitrogen is an example of

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

Hint:

Solutions in gases typically involve a gas dissolving a liquid or solid. In this case, chloroform is the liquid in a nitrogen gas solution.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the phases of matter.
A solution in which one phase (such as a liquid) is dissolved in another phase (such as a gas) is termed a liquid in gas solution. Chloroform dissolved in nitrogen is a good example, as nitrogen is a gas and chloroform is a liquid.
Step 2: Analyzing the options.
(A) Liquid in gas: This is the correct answer. Chloroform (liquid) is dissolved in nitrogen (gas).
(B) Liquid in solid: This is incorrect, as chloroform is not dissolved in a solid.
(C) Liquid in liquid: This is incorrect. Chloroform is not dissolved in another liquid but in a gas.
(D) Gas in liquid: This is incorrect, as the solution is a liquid dissolved in a gas, not the reverse.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (A) Liquid in gas.
