Q1 of 35 Page 149

If the pH of aqueous solutions A, B, C and D are 1.9, 2.5, 2.1 and 3.0 then what will be the order of acidity ?

As the concentration of H + ions increase, the acidity increases, and the pH decreases. Thus, we can say that lesser the pH more will be the acidity. Therefore, solution A will have maximum acidity as it has the least pH followed by solution C, followed by solution B and solution D is least acidic as it has a maximum pH of 3.

The given picture explains the concept:
