    The pH of 0.1M solution of the following salts increases in the order:

    A)  \[NaCl<N{{H}_{4}}Cl<NaCN<HCl\]

    B)  \[HCl<N{{H}_{4}}Cl<NaCl<NaCN\]

    C)   \[NaCN<N{{H}_{4}}Cl<NaCl<HCl\]

    D)  \[HCl<NaCl<NaCN<N{{H}_{4}}Cl\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     \[N{{H}_{4}}Cl\]undergoes cationic hydrolysis hence, pH is > 7 because the solution due to cationic hydrolysis is acid.\[NaCN\] undergoes anionic hydrolysis hence, pH is > 7.\[HCl\]is strong acid and\[NaCl\]is neutral solution. Hence, the pH of given solutions will increases. \[HCl<NaCl<NaCN<N{{H}_{4}}Cl\]
