To sort the solutions based on their strength of dissolution, we can categorize them based on whether they are strong acids, weak acids, strong bases, or weak bases. Here's the classification:

  1. Strong Acid:

    • Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
  2. Weak Acid:

    • Acetic acid (CH₃COOH)
    • Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is also a weak acid despite being hydrogen fluoride.
  3. Strong Base:

    • Lithium hydroxide (LiOH)
  4. Weak Base:

    • Ammonia (NH₃)
    • Water (H₂O) is neutral and does not function as a strong base.

Strength of Dissolution Rankings:

  1. Strong Acid: Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
  2. Weak Acid: Hydrofluoric acid (HF)
  3. Weak Acid: Acetic acid (CH₃COOH)
  4. Strong Base: Lithium hydroxide (LiOH)
  5. Weak Base: Ammonia (NH₃)
  6. Neutral: Water (H₂O)

Sorted List Based on Strength of Dissolution:

  1. Hydrochloric acid (Strong Acid)
  2. Hydrofluoric acid (Weak Acid)
  3. Acetic acid (Weak Acid)
  4. Lithium hydroxide (Strong Base)
  5. Ammonia (Weak Base)
  6. Water (Neutral)

Thus, the order from strongest dissolution to weakest is: Strong Acid > Weak Acid > Strong Base > Weak Base > Water
