Q.

Which of the following mixture gives a buffer solution with pH = 9.25
Given : pKb(NH4OH) = 4.75      [2026]

1 0.4 M NH4OH (1 L)+0.1 M HCl (1 L)  
2 0.2 M NH4OH (0.5 L)+0.1 M HCl (0.5 L)  
3 0.2 M NH4OH (0.4 L)+0.1 M HCl (1 L)  
4 0.5 M NH4OH (0.2 L)+0.2 M HCl (0.5 L)  

Ans.

(2)

pOH=pKb+log(SaltBase)

4.75=4.75+log(SaltBase)

Millimoles of [Salt]=millimoles of [Base]

Option (D):
