JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2019 - 9th January Morning Slot - No. 18)
20 mL of 0.1 M H2SO4 solution is added to 30 mL of of 0.2 M NH4OH solution. The pH of the resultant mixture is : [pkb of NH4OH = 4.7].
5.2
9.0

Explanation
H2SO4 + 2NH4OH $$ \to $$ (NH4)2SO4 + H2O
Initially,
H2SO4 present = 20 $$ \times $$ 0.1 $$ \times $$ 2 = 4 miliequivalent
NH4OH present = 30 $$ \times $$ 0.2 = 6 miliequivalent
Here H2SO4 is the limiting reagent,
So, finally. H2SO4 present = 0
and NH4OH present = (6 $$-$$ 4) = 2
and (NH4)2SO4 produced = 4 miliequivalent.
As in the solution there is (NH4)2 SO4 present so it a basic buffer.
$$ \therefore $$ POH = PKb + log $${{\left[ {Salt} \right]} \over {\left[ {base} \right]}}$$
= 4.7 + log $${4 \over 2}$$
= 4.7 + log2
= 4.7 + 0.3
= 5
$$ \therefore $$ PH = 14 $$-$$ POH
= 14 $$-$$ 5
= 9
