Question
Four aqueous solutions are listed below.
W. \({\text{0.100 mol}}\,{\text{d}}{{\text{m}}^{ - 3}}{\text{ HN}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}{\text{(aq)}}\)
X. \({\text{0.001 mol}}\,{\text{d}}{{\text{m}}^{ - 3}}{\text{ HN}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}{\text{(aq)}}\)
Y. \({\text{0.100 mol}}\,{\text{d}}{{\text{m}}^{ - 3}}{\text{ KOH(aq)}}\)
Z. \({\text{0.001 mol}}\,{\text{d}}{{\text{m}}^{ - 3}}{\text{ KOH(aq)}}\)
What is the correct order of increasing pH of these solutions?
A. \({\text{W}} < {\text{X}} < {\text{Y}} < {\text{Z}}\)
B. \({\text{W}} < {\text{X}} < {\text{Z}} < {\text{Y}}\)
C. \({\text{X}} < {\text{W}} < {\text{Y}} < {\text{Z}}\)
D. \({\text{X}} < {\text{W}} < {\text{Z}} < {\text{Y}}\)
