Question

Question number nine in the picture. We think that the answer is that all three solutions would have the same pH, because they are starting out with the same concentration of hydrogen. Can you answer the question and do you agree? 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.

Number seven would seem to be similar and that all would have the same hydrogen ion concentration because the pH is the same, number eight would be same  because one and three fully dissociate.
