Detailed Solution

According to Henry's law,

P=KHCKH1C

Where P = Partial pressure of gas
C = Concentration of gas
KH = Henry's constant
It implies that as the value of KH increases, mole fraction of gas solute in solvent decreases.
Hence, higher the KH value, lower is the solubility of gas.
The order of increasing solubility of gases in :

Ar<CO2<CH4<HCHO
