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.     \({\text{X}} < {\text{W}} < {\text{Y}} < {\text{Z}}\)
