Arrange NH ,H O,H O ,HF and  OH  in increasing order of acidic nature. (a) H O NH HF OH H O (b) NH HF H O H O OH (c) HO H O NH HF H O (d) H O HF H O NH OH

Answer
C
Explanation

Among the given species, correct order of increasing acidic  strength  is 2 4 3 HO H O NH HF H O . OH– is basic (i.e. it tends to gain a proton) and hence is least acidic. H2O is neutral species. H3O+ is most acidic as it readily loses proton. IONIC EQUILIBRIUM 31
