Question

Please see the last answer. It is incomplete and did not list weakest to strongereat base.   We would like to see how the teacher thinks. In our opinion the answer is D, because after you list it from weakest base to strongest base, water is still weaker at 1×10 to the -14th, and the ultimate weakest would be nitrate because that never goes the other way.   Please don't charge me for a question as I have already been charged and the answer was incomplete.   We want to confirm our logic as we think D is best . This is not a graded question as it is a practice question . I am 60 years old and helping my son prepare for the AP exam in a few months. We do questions at the back of the textbook by Zumdahl and Zumdahl
