Observe the following data given in the table $(K_H = \text{Henry's law constant})$. The correct order of solubility of these gases is:
Gas$K_H$ (kbar at $298 \ K$)
$CO_2$$1.67$
$Ar$$40.3$
$HCHO$$1.83 \times 10^{-5}$
$CH_4$$0.413$

  • A
    $CO_2 > CH_4 > HCHO > Ar$
  • B
    $Ar > HCHO > CH_4 > CO_2$
  • C
    $HCHO > CH_4 > CO_2 > Ar$
  • D
    $CO_2 > HCHO > CH_4 > Ar$
