Order these chemical species by increasing pH of an 0.1 M aqueous solution of each. That is, imagine making an 0.1 M solution of each species. Select I next to the species that makes the solution with the lowest pH. Select 2 next to the species that makes the solution with the next higher pH, and so on. Notice that some of the rankings have been filled in for you already. Also notice that water is on the list. For that particular case, just compare the pH of pure water to the pH of the other solutions. Note for advanced students: for all charged species, you may assume the necessary counterions act as neither acids nor bases. species H₂O* NH₂ C,H,OH NH₂ Expignation H₂O HN3 N₂ CH₂O Check relative pH of 0.1 M aqueous solution 1 (lowest) (Choose one) ▼ 4 3 (Choose one) (Choose one) (Choose one) X 5 © 2023 McGraw Hill LLC.

The task is to order the chemical species by increasing pH of a 0.1 M aqueous solution of each. You will assign a number to each species, indicating the solution with the lowest pH (1) to the highest pH (6).

### Chemical Species and Relative pH Ranking:

| Species  | Relative pH of 0.1 M Aqueous Solution  |
|----------|---------------------------------------|
| H<sub>3</sub>O<sup>+</sup> | **1 (lowest)**                   |
| NH<sub>3</sub> | (Choose one)                          |
| C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>OH | **4**                                 |
| NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> | **3**                                  |
| H<sub>2</sub>O | (Choose one)                          |
| HN<sub>3</sub> | (Choose one)                          |
| N<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup> | **6**                                 |
| C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>O<sup>−</sup> | (Choose one)               |

### Instructions:

1. Select "2" for the species that makes the solution with the next higher pH after H<sub>3</sub>O<sup>+</sup>.
2. Continue assigning numbers in increasing order of pH, using the available choices.

Note: For water (H<sub>2</sub>O), compare the pH of pure water to other solutions.

### Advanced Note:
For charged species, assume necessary counterions act as neither acids nor bases.
