Arrange the pH in increasing order of hydrogen-ion concentration
solution:
(a) Neutral - Solution D with $\mathrm{pH} 7$
(b) Strongly alkaline - Solution C with pH 11
(c) Strongly acidic - Solution B with $\mathrm{pH} 1$
(d) Weakly acidic - Solution A with $\mathrm{pH} 4$
(e) Weakly alkaline - Solution E with pH 9
The $\mathrm{pH}$ can be arranged in the increasing order of the concentration of hydrogen ions as $11<9<7<4<1$.
