OH⁻ < NH₃ < HCO₃⁻ < H₂O < NH₄⁺ < H₂CO₃

Explanation:

We can do some rough calculations to find the approximate pH values of these solutions.

H₂CO₃

Kₐ ≈ 10⁻⁶

NH₄⁺

Kb of NH₃ ≈ 10⁻⁵

Kₐ of NH₄⁺ ≈ 10⁻⁹

OH⁻

Strong base

[OH⁻] = 10⁻¹

pOH = 1

pH = 14 - 1 = 13

HCO₃⁻

Salt of dibasic acid

K₁ ≈ 10⁻⁶; K₂ ≈ 10⁻¹⁰

NH₃

Kb ≈ 10⁻⁵

pOH = 14 - 3 = 11

H₂O

Neutral. pH = 7

Order from lowest [H₃O⁺] to highest [H₃O⁺]:

      OH⁻ < NH₃ < HCO₃⁻ < H₂O < NH₄⁺ < H₂CO₃  

pH   1 3        11          8            7         5           3.5

zfoods? ok, pressure is used to keep the heat inside and to keep the food perfect.

the answer is true.
