Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A solution which has more number of hydrogen ions will be acidic in nature and its pH will be less than 7. Whereas a solution which has more number of hydroxide ions will be basic in nature and thus, its pH will be greater than 7.

Also,        pH = -log \frac{1}{H^{+}}

Therefore, a low pH means pH will be very less than 7.

The given molecules will dissociate as follows.

      H_{3}PO_{4} \rightleftharpoons 3H^{+} + PO^{3-}_{4}

H_{2}O being a neutral molecule will not dissociate and pH of water is 7. Hence, it is a neutral molecule.

      NaOH \rightleftharpoons Na^{+} + OH^{-}

      KOH \rightleftharpoons K^{+} + OH^{-}

So, we can see that H_{3}PO_{4} gives maximum number of hydrogen ions. Therefore, we can conclude that molecule of H_{3}PO_{4} will form a solution with a very low pH.

A kilobyte is 210. A megabyte is 220 bytes. How many kilobytes are in a megabyte? Use the exponent rule for division to find you
Sedaia [141]
<span>a kilobyte is 2^10 bytes
and you're converting 1 megabyte to kilobyte.

 
converting units that you learned in science class (1 megabyte / 1) * (2^20 bytes / 1 megabyte) * (1 kilobyte / 2^10 bytes)
 
megabyte and bytes cancels out and you're left with 2^20 kilobyte / 2^10 = 2^10 kilobyte
</span>
