Of these, what is the order from highest pH to lowest pH? LiOH(aq), HBrO(aq), Sr(OH)_2(aq), NH_3(aq), and HI(aq)

The bases gives rise to more alkaline solution, and thus higher pH

Explanation:

And so from highest pH to lowest.........I propose...........

Sr(OH)_2(aq), LiOH(aq), NH_3(aq), HBrO(aq), HI(aq).

The right hand side includes the strong acid HI. HBrO is a weak acid; ammonia, NH_3, behaves as a bas in aqueous solution.

Why will Sr(OH)_2 gives a higher pH than LiOH given equal concentration?
