Question

Solution (A) contains 0.01 M of NH4Cl; solution

(B)contains 0.01 M of NaCl; Solution (C) contains 0.01 M of
NaOH;andSolution (D) contains 0.01 M of Ba(OH)2. Arrange
the pHof the solutions in an increasing order.

Answer 1

NH4Cl, NaCl, Ba(OH)2, NaOH

Step-by-step explanation:

NH4Cl is an acidic salt formed by the neutralization of a strong acid (HCl) with a weak base (NH3). Hence, it will habe a PH<7 (the lowest PH).

NaCl is a neutral salt,formed by neutralization of a strong acid (HCl) with a strong base (NaOH). Hence, it will have a PH of 7.

Ba(OH)2 is a weak base. Therefore, it will have a PH between 8 and 10.

NaOh meanwhile, is a strong base. Therefore, it will have a PH between 10 to 13.

Hence, we have

NH4Cl < NaCl < Ba(OH)2 < NaOH
