KH value for Ar(g), CO2 (g), HCHO (g) and CH4(g) are 40.39, 1.67, 1.83 x 10-5 and 0.413 respectively.

Arrange these gases in the order of their increasing solubility.

1.  HCHO < CH4 < CO2 < Ar

2.  HCHO < CO2 < CH4 < Ar

3.  Ar < CO2 < CH4 < HCHO

4.  Ar < CH4 < CO2 < HCHO

 

 
(c) Value of KH depends upon nature of gases dissolved in water.
