Question 26
KH value for Ar (g), CO2 (g), HCHO (g) and CH4 (g) are 40.39, 1.67, 1.83×10−5 and 0.413 repectively.
Arrange these gases in the order of their increasing solubility.
(a) HCHO < CH4 < CO2 < Ar (b) HCHO <CO2 < CH4 < Ar
(c) Ar < CO2 < CH4 < HCHO (d) Ar < CH4 < CO2 < HCHO
(C) Value of KH depends upon nature of gases dissolved in water.

Hence, correct order is Ar < CO2 < CH4 < HCHO and correct choice is (c).
