Question

Arrange the following elements in the increasing order of their solubility at a given temperature.

• A. Helium
• B. Nitrogen
• C. Carbon monoxide
• D. Oxygen
• E. Methane

Answer 1

Different gases have different solubilities at a given temperature.
The solubility of gas also depends upon temperature and pressure.
The correct increasing order of solubility for the above-given gases is:

Helium < Nitrogen < Carbon monoxide < Oxygen < Methane
