Question

Air is an example of ________.
a.) Gas solid solution
b.) Gas gas solution
c.) Solid solid solution
d.) Solid gas solution

Answer 1

Hint: Analyze the composition of the air. Also the phases of the constituents present in the air so that you may understand what type of phases of different components are present in the air. So that we can find what type of solution it is.

Complete Solution :
The air is a mixture of gases. It is the homogeneous mixture of gaseous substances. The air in the earth’s atmosphere is made up of approximately 78 percent of the nitrogen gas, twenty one percent of the oxygen gas and also the small amounts of lots of other molecules too like carbon dioxide, hydrogen, neon etc. All these are in the gaseous form which is the basic form of these constituents. The solvent is the gas and the solute is also the gas. Since both the phases of the solute and the solvent is gas. Hence air is an example of the gas gas solution.
So, the correct answer is “Option B”.

Note: Air is a homogeneous mixture. This can be defined as a homogeneous mixture that has the same proportions of its components throughout any given sample and is also referred to as a solution.
