## Data on Weak Acids and Weak Bases

### Acid
| **Name**       | **Formula**  | **Ka**            |
|----------------|--------------|-------------------|
| Nitrous Acid   | HNO₂         | 4.5 × 10⁻⁴       |
| Acetic Acid    | HCH₃CO₂      | 1.8 × 10⁻⁵       |

### Base
| **Name**       | **Formula**  | **Kb**            |
|----------------|--------------|-------------------|
| Aniline        | C₆H₅NH₂     | 4.3 × 10⁻¹⁰      |
| Methylamine    | CH₃NH₂      | 4.4 × 10⁻⁴       |

### Ranking Solutions by pH
Use this data to rank the following solutions in order of increasing pH. In other words, select a '1' next to the solution that will have the lowest pH, a '2' next to the solution that will have the next lowest pH, and so on.

| **Solution**       | **pH**            |
|--------------------|-------------------|
| **0.1 M C₆H₅NH₃Br** | ![dropdown](dropdown.png)  |
| **0.1 M KCH₃CO₂**  | ![dropdown](dropdown.png)  |
| **0.1 M CH₃NH₃Cl** | ![dropdown](dropdown.png)  |
| **0.1 M NaNO₂**    | ![dropdown](dropdown.png)  |

Select the appropriate numbers (1-4) to correctly rank the solutions in terms of their pH levels:

1. **Lowest pH**
2. 
3. 
4. **Highest pH**

---

**Explanation of Ranking:**

- Solutions with weak acids or their conjugate bases will have varying pH levels based on the given \(K_a\) and \(K_b\) values. 
- Typically, solutions with weak acids will have lower pH values, compared to their conjugate bases which will have higher pH values.
- The provided \(K_a\) and \(K_b\) values give insight into the strength of the acids and bases, affecting their dissociation in water and hence their hydrogen ion concentration (p
