Rank the given compounds based on their relative acidities.

1. NH3

2.  CH4

3.  HC triple bonded to CH

4.  H2C=CHCH3

5.  H2O

I tried to put them in order of acidity based on their pKa values, but it did not work.  I know that the acidity decreases with an increase in pKa...but when I looked up pKa values and tried to use that for finding acidity it did not work.  

If there is another good way to distinguish the acidities other than their pKa values, please help me figure out how to do this.  Thank you!  :)
