The $K_{H}$ values for some gases at the same temperature '$T$' are given below:
Gas $K_{H} / \text{kbar}$
$Ar$ $40.3$
$CO_{2}$ $1.67$
$HCHO$ $1.83 \times 10^{-5}$
$CH_{4}$ $0.413$

where $K_{H}$ is Henry's Law constant in water. The order of their solubility in water is:

  • A
    $Ar < CO_{2} < CH_{4} < HCHO$
  • B
    $Ar < CH_{4} < CO_{2} < HCHO$
  • C
    $HCHO < CO_{2} < CH_{4} < Ar$
  • D
    $HCHO < CH_{4} < CO_{2} < Ar$
