From the calculations, the pH of the final solution is 9.04.
<h3>What is the pH of the buffer?</h3>
We can use the Henderson Hasselbach equation to obtain the final pH of the solution in terms of the pKb and the base concentration.
Number of moles of salt = 250/1000 L * 0.5 M = 0.125 moles
Number of moles of base = 150/1000 L * 0.5 M = 0.075 moles
Total volume of solution = 250ml + 150ml = 400ml or 0.4 L
Molarity of base = 0.075 moles/ 0.4 L = 0.1875 M
Molarity of salt = 0.125 moles/ 0.4 L = 0.3125 M
pOH = pKb + log[salt/base]
pKb = -log(1.8 x 10^-5) = 4.74
pOH = 4.74 + log[0.3125/0.1875 ]
pOH = 4.96
pH = 14- 4.96
pH = 9.04
