Correct answer: B
- Write the reaction
The neutralization is:
Since is dibasic, mole of neutralizes moles of .
- Calculate moles of reactants
For sulfuric acid:
This provides acidic equivalents:
For ammonium hydroxide:
- Find excess reactant after neutralization
mol of base is consumed by the acid, so leftover base:
Salt formed:
Each mole of gives moles of , so ammonium ion formed:
Thus the final mixture contains a basic buffer of weak base and its conjugate acid .
- Use buffer formula for basic buffer
For a basic buffer:
Here,
and
So,
Using ,
Hence,
- Check options
The resultant pH is:
So the correct option is B.
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: B
Derived answer: B
They agree.
