Chapter 15, Problem 15.84SP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The strongest acid should be given from the given set of acids.

Concept Introduction:

Acid-base neutralization reaction:

The aqueous solution of acid react with aqueous solution of base to produce soluble salt with water in known as acid-base neutralization reaction.

$\text{pH}$:

The negative log of base 10 ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ion concentration is given by $\text{pH}$ of the solution.

$\text{pH}\text{=}{\text{-log}}_{\text{10}}{\text{[H}}^{\text{+}}\text{]}$
