Chemistry Question on Buffer Solutions

A litre of buffer solution contains 0101 mole of each of NH3NH _3 and NH4CLNH _4 CL On the addition of 002002 mole of HClHCl by dissolving gaseous HClHCl, the pHpH of the solution is found to be ____ ×103\times 10^{-3} (Nearest integer) [Given : pK5(NH3)=4745pK _5\left( NH _3\right)=4745 log2=0301 \log 2=0301 log3=0477\log 3=0477 T=298K]T =298 K ]

Answer

The correct answer is 9079.
In resultant solution
nNH3​​=0.1−0.02=0.08
nNH4​Cl​=nNH4+​​=0.1+0.02=0.12
pOH=pKb​+log[NH3​][NH4+​]​
=4.745+log0.080.12​
=4.745+log23​
=4.745+0.477−0.301
pOH=4.921
pH=14−pH
=9.079
