Question
Five solutions A, B, C, D and E when tested with universal indicator showed pH as 4, 1, 11, 7 and 9, respectively. Which solution is
  1. Neutral?
  2. Strongly alkaline?
  3. Strongly acidic?
  4. Weakly acidic?
  5. Weakly alkaline?
Arrange the pH in increasing order of hydrogen-ion concentration.

Answer

SolutionpH
Neutral (D)7
Strongly alkaline (C)11
Strongly acidic (B)1
Weakly acidic (A)4
Weakly alkaline (E)9
Arrangement of pH in the increasing order of hydrogen ion concentration is as follows:
pH (11)
C
pH (9)
E
pH (7)
D
pH (4)
A
pH (1)
B
pH in the increasing order of hydrogen ion concentration
