Question:

If the solubility of the given gases in water decreases in the order of formaldehyde, methane, vinyl chloride, argon.

Match List-I with List-II.

List-I Gas

List-II $K_H/k$ bar

(A) Formaldehyde

(I) 40.3

(B) Vinyl Chloride

(II) 0.413

(C) Argon

(III) $1.83 × 10^{-5}$

(D) Methane

(IV) 0.611

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)

(A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)

(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

Correct Answer:

(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

List-I Gas

List-II $K_H/k$ bar

(A) Formaldehyde

(III) $1.83 × 10^{-5}$

(B) Vinyl Chloride

(IV) 0.611

(C) Argon

(I) 40.3

(D) Methane

(II) 0.413

Lower Solubility Higher $K_{H}$ (Henry's Law Constant)

The problem states: Solubility decreases in the order: Formaldehyde > Methane > Vinyl chloride > Argon.

Therefore, the $K_{H}$ values should increase in the same order.

Order of increasing $K_{H}$ values: Formaldehyde < Methane < Vinyl chloride < Argon

Given $K_{H}$ values (in increasing order):

1. $1.83\times10^{-5}$ (Smallest $K_{H}$, so Highest Solubility)

2. 0.413 

3. 0.611

4. 40.3 (Largest $K_H$, so Lowest Solubility)
