Why is a ruby considered to be a solution?
The reason for considering ruby a solution.
Answer to Problem 8RQ
The ruby is considered to be a solution because it contains red chromium compounds in Aluminum oxide.
Explanation of Solution
When the composition is the same throughout the mixture, it is known as a homogeneous mixture. There are two types of the homogeneous mixture which are solution and suspension.
When the components of the homogeneous mixture are all in the same phase, it is known as the solution.
The solution can be in a solid-state. The gemstones like ruby are examples of solid solutions.
The ruby contains a trace amount of red chromium components in transparent Aluminum oxide. Hence, it is considered to be a solution.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the ruby is considered to be a solution because it contains red chromium compounds in Aluminum oxide.
