Detailed Solution

The POH of a basic buffer is given as,

large {P^{OH}} = {P^{Kb}} + log frac{{left[ {Salt} right]}}{{left[ {Acid} right]}}

large {P^{OH}} = 4.8 + log frac{{frac{{200 times 0.2}}{{300}}}}{{frac{{100 times 0.1}}{{300}}}}

large {P^{OH}} = 4.8 + log frac{{40}}{{10}}

large begin{gathered} {P^{OH}} = 5.4  \ {P^H} = 14 - 5.4 \ end{gathered}

large {P^H} = 8.6
