See below...

Explanation:

potassium hydroxide (KOH)
methylamine (CH_"5"NCH5N)
hydrobromic acid (HBr)
potassium iodide (KI)
ascorbic acid (C_"6"H_"8"O_"6"C6H8O6)

  • Rank the following compounds in order of increasing pH

KOH - 5
CH_"5"NCH5N - 4
HBr - 1
KI - 3
C_"6"H_"8"O_"6"C6H8O6 - 2

  • Label each compound as strong acid, weak acid, neutral, weak base or strong base

KOH - strong base
CH_"5"NCH5N - weak base
HBr - strong acid
KI - neutral
C_"6"H_"8"O_"6"C6H8O6 - weak acid
