A buffer solution is prepared in which the concentration of `NH_(3)` is 0.30 M and the concentration of `NH_(4)^(+)` is 0.20 M. If the equilibrium constant, `K_(b)` for `NH_(3)` equals `1.8 xx 10^(-5)`, what is the pH of this solution (log 2.7 = 043)A. 8.73B. 9.08C. 9.43D. 11.72

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`pOH = pK_(b) log.(["Salt"])/(["Base"])`
`= 4.74 + log.(0.20)/(0.30) = 4.74 + (0.301 - 0.477)`
`= 4.74 - 0.176 = 4.56 :. pH = 14- 4.56 = 9.44`.
