Question

Which is an example of the solution of solid in solid?

• A. Beryllium
• B. Bread
• C. Brass
• D. Boron

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Brass

The explanation for the correct option

Option C-Brass

Brass is an example of the solution of solid in solid.

Solid in solid

1. A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more chemically nonreacting substances whose composition can be varied within certain limits.
2. A solution consists of solute and solvent.
3. A solute is a component that is presented in a lesser amount in solution.
4. A solvent is a component that presents a larger amount in solution.
5. In the solution of solid in solid, both solute and solvent are solid.
6. Brass is an alloy of Zinc$\left(\mathrm{Zn}\right)$ and Copper$\left(\mathrm{Cu}\right)$.
7. Alloy is a solution made by mixing a metal with other metal or non-metal. We cannot differentiate the components.

The explanation for the incorrect option

Option A-Beryllium $\left(\mathrm{Be}\right)$

1. It is an element.
2. Element - A pure substance that is made up of only one kind of atom.

Option B-Bread

1. Bread is an example of solid foam.
2. A foam is a substance that is formed when gas gets trapped in a liquid or solid.

Option D-Boron

1. It is also an element.
2. Its chemical symbol is Boron$\left(\mathrm{B}\right)$.

Hence option (C) is correct.
