mixing a solvent and a solute Apex
At room temperature some acids are liquids (sulfuric acid), some acids are solids (citric acid), and some acids are gases (hydrochloric acid; the liquid in the bottle labeled "hydrochloric acid" is actually a solution of the gas in water).
Solid
Hydrochloric acid is formed by disolving HCl (a gas) into water. Sulfuric acid is formed by disolving H2SO4 (a liquid) in water. Pure H2SO4 is a clear syrupy liquid that absorbs any water in the air and gives off a smokey looking vapor if it is exposed to the air, but it isn't a gas, consequently sulfuric acid is not prone to off gassing unless you get it very hot.
Acetic acid melts at about 16 - 170C, so commonly it is a liquid, but will become a solid below this temp.

it is a solid.
Solid
No. Although an electrolyte must be at least somewhat soluble in water, in pure form an electrolyte may be a solid (such as sodium chloride), liquid (such as sulfuric acid), or gas (such as hydrogen chloride).

Carbon dioxide gas, carbon monoxide gas, maybe carbon (black solid) and water (absorbed by conc. suluric acid)
no, like other elements in the periodic table they can be solid, liquid or gas
It's just sulfuric acid vapor.
