Accepted Answer

∻Solution∻ ‖ 1 ⋮ **Identify the reaction**: The pH of a solution is a measure of its acidity or alkalinity, which is based on the concentration of hydrogen ions ($\mathrm{H}^{+}$). ‖ ‖ 2 ⋮ **Analyze Solution A**: Solution A contains 5 HA, 1 A$^{-}$, and 3 $\mathrm{H}^{+}$. The presence of 3 $\mathrm{H}^{+}$ ions indicates a relatively high concentration of hydrogen ions, suggesting a lower pH. ‖ ‖ 3 ⋮ **Analyze Solution B**: Solution B contains 3 HA, 4 A$^{-}$, and 3 $\mathrm{H}^{+}$. The presence of 3 $\mathrm{H}^{+}$ ions is the same as in Solution A, but the higher number of A$^{-}$ ions suggests a slightly higher pH than Solution A. ‖ ‖ 4 ⋮ **Analyze Solution C**: Solution C contains 2 HA, 5 A$^{-}$, and 2 $\mathrm{H}^{+}$. The presence of 2 $\mathrm{H}^{+}$ ions indicates a lower concentration of hydrogen ions compared to Solutions A and B, suggesting a higher pH. ‖ ‖ 5 ⋮ **Order the solutions**: Based on the analysis, the order from lowest pH to highest pH is: Solution A, Solution B, Solution C. ‖ ∻Answer∻ ⚹ Solution A, Solution B, Solution C ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ pH is determined by the concentration of hydrogen ions ($\mathrm{H}^{+}$) in the solution. ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ The solution with the highest concentration of $\mathrm{H}^{+}$ ions will have the lowest pH, and the solution with the lowest concentration of $\mathrm{H}^{+}$ ions will have the highest pH. ⚹◊What is the relationship between the concentration of hydronium ions and the $\mathrm{pH}$ of a solution?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
