Question
**Consider the following data on some weak acids and weak bases:**

**Acid:**

| Name                 | Formula | \( K_a \)             |
|----------------------|---------|-----------------------|
| Hydrocyanic acid     | HCN     | \( 4.9 \times 10^{-10} \) |
| Hypochlorous acid    | HClO    | \( 3.0 \times 10^{-8} \) |

**Base:**

| Name          | Formula     | \( K_b \)             |
|---------------|-------------|-----------------------|
| Hydroxylamine | HONH\(_2\)  | \( 1.1 \times 10^{-8} \) |
| Aniline       | C\(_6\)H\(_5\)NH\(_2\) | \( 4.3 \times 10^{-10} \) |

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.

**Solutions:**

| Solution              | pH         |
|-----------------------|------------|
| 0.1 M KCl             | [choose one] |
| 0.1 M C\(_6\)H\(_5\)NH\(_3\)Br | [choose one] |
| 0.1 M HONH\(_3\)Cl    | [choose one] |
| 0.1 M KCN             | [choose one] |
