Question

Identify the true and false statement(s).
Statement I: Liquid mixtures like milk and blood can be called solutions.
Statement II: The solvents in a solution are always in a liquid state

• A. True, True
• B. True, False
• C. False, True
• D. False, False

Answer 1

The correct option is D

False, False

Let's talk about the first statement. It says liquid mixtures like milk and blood can be called solutions. But milk and blood have tiny globules/cells which are suspended within and these do not settle if left untouched. Also, the constituents cannot be seen with the naked eye. So both are colloids.
The first statement is false.

Solvents in solution do not always have a liquid state. Alloys have both solutes and solvents as solids. Similarly, there are gaseous solutions (air) with gaseous solvents.
So, the second statement is incorrect.
