Three flasks, labeled A, B, and C, contained aqueous solutions
of the same pH. It was known that one of the solutions was 1.0 ×
10–3 M in nitric acid, one was 6 × 10–3 M in formic acid, and one
was 4 × 10–2 M in the salt formed by the weak organic base aniline
with hydrochloric acid (C6H5NH3Cl). (Formic acid is
monoprotic.)
