Question:

$K_H$ values for $Ar_(g)$, $CO_{2(g)}$, $HCHO_{(g)}$ and $CH_{4(g)}$ are $40.39$, $1.67$, $1.83 \times 10^{-5}$ and $0.413$ respectively. Arrange these gases in the order of their increasing solubility.

  • $HCHO < CH_4 < CO_2 < Ar$
  • $HCHO < CO_2 < CH_4 < Ar$
  • $Ar < CO_2 < CH_4 < HCHO$
  • $Ar < CH_4 < CO_2 < HCHO$

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Higher the value of $K_H$, the lower is the solubility of gas in the liquid. Thus, the order of increasing solubility is $\begin{matrix}&Ar&

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
