Select all of the following statements that are incorrect. a. solids, liquids, and gases are all able to act as solutes in a solution. b. solids, liquids, and gases are all able to act as solvents in a solution. c. solids are not able to act as a solvent if a gas is the solute. d. gases are not able to act as a solvent if a solid is the solute.

Explanation:

Adsorption is defined as a process in which gas molecules tend to adsorb on the surface of a solid solvent.

Therefore, the statement solids are not able to act as a solvent if a gas is the solute, is false.

On the other hand, gases can also act as a solvent if a solid is the solute.

For example, air present in the surrounding acts as a solvent and solid substances present in the surrounding acts as a solute.

Hence, the statement gases are not able to act as a solvent if a solid is the solute, is false.

Thus, we can conclude that following are the statements which are incorrect.
