Which of the following gives the correct increasing order of acidic strength?
Remember, the pH value of water is 7. Acetic acid (CH₃COOH) is a weak acid while hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid. Hence, the correct increasing order of acidic strength is water < acetic acid < hydrochloric acid.
