20ml of 0.1 M H2SO4 solution is added to 30mL of 0.2MNH4OH solution. The pH of the resultant mixture is: pkb of NH4OH=4.7
  1. 5.0
  2. 5.2
  3. 9.4
  4. 9.0

Solution

Millimoles of H2SO4=20×0.1=2

Millimoles of NH4OH=30×0.2=6



Hence, the solution will act as a basic buffer.

pOH=pKb+logsaltBase

NH4+=2×NH42SO4;         NH4+=4

pOH=pKb+logNH4+NH3

=4.7+log42

=4.7+0.3010=5.010

pH=14-pOH=9
