50 mL of 0.2 M ammonia solution is treated with 25 mL of 0.2 M HCl. If pKb of ammonia solution is 4.75, the pH of the mixture will be :
- A3.75
- B4.75
- C8.25
- D9.25

Correct answer: D
- Write the reaction
Ammonia reacts with hydrochloric acid as:
Since HCl is a strong acid, it will neutralize ammonia completely.
- Calculate initial moles
For ammonia:
For HCl:
- Find moles after reaction
Reaction is in ratio.
- HCl is limiting, so it will consume mol of .
- Remaining :
- Formed :
So after mixing, we have a buffer containing equal moles of and .
- Use buffer relation for basic buffer
For a basic buffer:
Here,
Since moles are equal, their concentrations are equal in the same total volume, so:
Thus,
Now,
- Final answer
So the correct option is D.
