Question

Four different solutions were prepared at the same concentration:

HCl(aq), HF(aq), NaOH(aq), and NH3(aq)

When the pH values were measured, the solutions showed different pH values:

(1) pH = 3.1

(2) pH = 5.8

(3) pH = 8.4

(4) pH = 12.8

Match each of the solutions with the measured pH values. Explain.
