Explanation / Answer

#According to the question;

As we know that;

pOH= pKb + log[(NH4+)/ (NH3)]
pKb of NH3 = 4.74

So,

By using haderson's equation;
Initial pOH = 4.74 + log(0.100/0.100) = 4.74
pH = 14 - 4.74 = 9.26
Moles NH4+ = moles NH3

=molarity*volume of solution in litres = 0.100*0.100

= 0.0100

Now,

HCl---------> H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

Thus,

Moles H+ added = Molarity of HCl*volume of HCl solution in litres =0.1*0.009

= 0.0009
NH3 + H+ = NH4+

Then,
Moles NH3 = 0.0100 - 0.0009=0.0091
Moles NH4+ = 0.0100 + 0.0009 = 0.0109

Therefore,
pOH = 4.74 + log{0.0109/ 0.0091} = 4.82
pOH = 14 - 4.82 = 9.18

So,
pH = 9.26 - 9.18

=0.08
