Question

pH of a solution made by mixing 50 mL of 0.2 M NH4Cl and 75 mL of 0.1 M NaOH is :-
[pKb of NH3(aq) = 4.74. log 3 = 0.47] 

Options

A.7.02
B.13.0
C.7.02
D.9.73

Solution

              NH4Cl        +    NaOH           →  NH4OH + NaCl
mmol   50 × 0.2     75 × 0.1
                    = 10                 = 7.5
mmol   10 - 7.5                   -                           7.5
                    = 2.5
⇒ This will result in a basic buffer.
⇒  pOH = pKb + log (Salt/Base)
       = 4.74 + log = 4.27
⇒ pH = 14 - 4.27 = 9.73
