The solution with the lowest pH would mean that it is an acid, specifically a strong acid which completely dissociates into ions in aqueous solution. Among the choices listed above, I think the correct answer is option D. It is nitric acid that will have the lowest pH because it is the only strong acid in the group

Answer:The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Out of these four acids the strongest acid is hydrochloric acid which completely dissociates inits aqueous solution.Where as other acids are weak acid do not dissociates complete in their aqueous solution.

$HCl(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq)+Cl^-(aq)$

0.1 M of HCl will form 0.1 M of $H^+$ ions.

The pH is given as:

$pH=-\log[H^+]=-\log[0.1]=1$

Hence,the correct answer is option D.

ammonium phosphate is an important ingredient in many solid fertilizers. It can be made by reacting aqueous phosphoric acid with

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

0.57 moles (NH4)3PO4 (2 sig. figs.)

Explanation:

To quote, J.R.

"Note: liquid ammonia (NH3) is actually aqueous ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) because NH3 + H2O -> NH4OH.

H3PO4(aq) + 3NH4OH(aq) ==> (NH4)3PO4 + 3H2O

Assuming that H3PO4 is not limiting, i.e. it is present in excess

1.7 mol NH4OH x 1 mole (NH4)3PO4/3 moles NH4OH = 0.567 moles = 0.57 moles (NH4)3PO4 (2 sig. figs.)"

A solution of silver chlorate reacts with a solution of lithium iodide.

Anettt [7]

Answer: $Ag^+(aq)+I^-(aq)\rightarrow AgI(s)$

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation or they are ions which are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction present in ionic form.

The given chemical equation is:

$AgClO_3(aq)+LiI(aq)\rightarrow AgI(s)+LiClO_3(aq)$
