The pH of 0.1 M solution of the following salts increases in the order

Question

The pH of 0.1 M solution of the following salts increases in the order (A)  NaCl < NH4Cl < NaCN < HCl  (B)  HCl < NH4Cl < NaCl < NaCN (C)  NaCN < NH4Cl < NaCl < HCl  (D)  HCl < NaCl < NaCN < NH4Cl

NaCN is basic salt, has highest pH while HCl has lowest pH. NaCl is neutral salt has pH = 7 while NH4Cl is acidic salt, has pH less than 7. pH: HCl < NH4Cl < NaCl < NaCN

Q. The pH of $0.1 M$ solution of the following salts increases in the order

$N a Cl < N H_{4} Cl < N a CN < H Cl$

$H Cl < N H_{4} Cl < N a Cl < N a CN$

$N a CN < N H_{4} Cl < N a Cl < H Cl$

$H Cl < N a Cl < N a CN < N H_{4} Cl$

$N a CN$ is basic salt, has highest pH while $H Cl$ has lowest pH. $N a Cl$ is neutral salt has $p H = 7$ while $N H_{4} Cl$ is acidic salt, has pH less than $7$ .
$p H : H Cl < N H_{4} Cl < N a Cl < N a CN$

Q. The pH of 0.1M solution of the following salts increases in the order

NaCl<NH4​Cl<NaCN<HCl

HCl<NH4​Cl<NaCl<NaCN

NaCN<NH4​Cl<NaCl<HCl

HCl<NaCl<NaCN<NH4​Cl
