The correct Answer is:
To determine the order of pH values for the given monobasic acids A, B, C, and D based on their dissociation constants, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the dissociation constants The dissociation constants (Ka) for the acids are: - Acid A: \( K_a = 6 \times 10^{-4} \) - Acid B: \( K_a = 5 \times 10^{-5} \) - Acid C: \( K_a = 3.6 \times 10^{-6} \) - Acid D: \( K_a = 7 \times 10^{-10} \) ### Step 2: Understand the relationship between dissociation constant and pH The dissociation constant (Ka) indicates how well an acid dissociates in solution. A higher Ka value means the acid dissociates more, producing more hydrogen ions (H⁺) in solution, which leads to a lower pH. Conversely, a lower Ka means fewer H⁺ ions and a higher pH. ### Step 3: Rank the acids based on their dissociation constants From the given values, we can rank the acids in order of their dissociation constants: 1. Acid A: \( 6 \times 10^{-4} \) (highest) 2. Acid B: \( 5 \times 10^{-5} \) 3. Acid C: \( 3.6 \times 10^{-6} \) 4. Acid D: \( 7 \times 10^{-10} \) (lowest) ### Step 4: Determine the order of pH values Since a higher dissociation constant corresponds to a lower pH, we can arrange the acids in order of increasing pH: - Acid A (lowest pH) - Acid B - Acid C - Acid D (highest pH) Thus, the order of pH values from lowest to highest is: **A < B < C < D** ### Final Answer The pH values of their 0.1M aqueous solutions are in the order: **A < B < C < D**. ---
