Basic Buffer
Question

pH of mixture containing two moles of NH4OH and half mole of H2SO4 is pKb of  NH4OH = 4.8

Moderate
Solution

The mixture acts like a basic buffer;

NH4OH is a monoacidic base;

Number of gram equivalents = 2 x 1 = 2

H2SO4 is a dibasic acid;

Number of gram equivalents = 0.5 x 2 = 1

SA 1. g. eq. +  WB1. g. eq.2 g. eq.1 g.eq.excess     Salt1 g. eq.+H2O

pOH=pkb+logVsNsVbNb pOH=4.8+log11 pOH=4.8 ; pH=14-4.8=9.2 ;
