Detailed Solution

Ammonium sulphate is created when 1 mole of H2SO4 reacts with 2 moles of ammonium hydroxide. Ammonium hydroxide, 2 moles, is still unreacted.

As a result, the resultant solution is a simple buffer solution.

[salt]=2 M and base = 2 M

The expression for the pOH of the basic buffer solution is as given below.

pOH=pKb+log[ salt ][ base ]

But pKb=4.8

Substitute values in the above equation.

pOH=4.8+log22=4.8

pH=14-pOH=14-4.8=9.2.

Therefore, the correct option is (B).
