Options:
  • A $\mathrm{NaCl} < \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa} < \mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl}$
  • B $\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl} < \mathrm{NaCl} < \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa}$
  • C $\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl} < \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa} < \mathrm{Na}^{4} \mathrm{Cl}$
  • D $\mathrm{NaCl}^{4} \mid < \mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl} < \mathrm{CH}_{3}^{3} \mathrm{COONa}$

The correct answer is: $\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl} < \mathrm{NaCl} < \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa}$
$\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl} \rightarrow$ acidic Salt $(P H < 7)$
$\mathrm{NaCl} \rightarrow$ Neutral Salt $(\mathrm{PH}=7)$
$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa} \rightarrow$ Basic salt $(\mathrm{PH}>7)$
