How to prepare a buffer solution using ammonia $(pK_b = 4.75)$? What is the $pH$ of this buffer if the concentrations of ammonia and ammonium chloride are equal?

  • A
    Mix equal concentrations of $NH_3$ and $NH_4Cl$; $pH = 9.25$
  • B
    Mix equal concentrations of $NH_3$ and $NH_4Cl$; $pH = 4.75$
  • C
    Mix $NH_3$ and $HCl$ in $2:1$ ratio; $pH = 9.25$
  • D
    Mix $NH_3$ and $HCl$ in $1:2$ ratio; $pH = 4.75$
