The correct answer is: Ar<CO2<CH4<HCHO

According to the Henry's law, the solubilities is inversely proportional to the hydration constant KH. So, higher the solubility, lower the KH value.

So, the formaldehyde has the lowest KH value. So, it has the highest value of solubility.

The order of solubility is Ar<CO2<CH4<HCHO.
