Question
When equal volumes of four \({\text{0.1 mol}}\,{\text{d}}{{\text{m}}^{ - 3}}\) solutions are arranged in order of increasing pH (lowest pH first), what is the correct order?
A. \({\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}{\text{COOH}} < {\text{HN}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}} < {\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{N}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}} < {\text{KOH}}\)
B. \({\text{HN}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}} < {\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}{\text{COOH}} < {\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{N}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}} < {\text{KOH}}\)
C. \({\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{N}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}} < {\text{HN}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}} < {\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}{\text{COOH}} < {\text{KOH}}\)
D. \({\text{KOH}} < {\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{N}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}} < {\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}{\text{COOH}} < {\text{HN}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\)
