The pH of $1 \mathrm{~N}$ aqueous solutions of $\mathrm{HCl}, \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOh}$ and HCOOH follows the order
- A$\mathrm{HCl}>\mathrm{HCOOH}>\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}$
- B$\mathrm{CHl}=\mathrm{HCOOH}>\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}$
- Correct answerC$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}>\mathrm{HCOOH}>\mathrm{HCl}$
- D$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}=\mathrm{HCOOH}>\mathrm{HCl}$
Solution
$\mathrm{HCl}>\mathrm{HCOOH}>\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH} ;$ Order of Acidic strength
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
