As learnt in

Value of Kb -

MOH(aq)\rightleftharpoons M^{+}(aq)+\bar{O}H(aq)

- wherein

K_{b}=\frac{[M^{+}]\:[\bar{O}H]}{[MOH]}


K_{b}=\frac{C\alpha ^{2}}{1-\alpha }

C=initial\:concentration\:of\:base

\alpha =degree\:of\:ionization\:of\:base

 

 P\left ( OH \right ) = PK_b+\log \frac{\left [ B^{-} \right ]}{\left [ HB \right ]}

\because \left [ B^{-} \right ] = \left [ HB \right ]\ \ given

\therefore P\left ( OH \right ) = P\left ( K_b \right )\Rightarrow P\left ( OH \right ) = 10

\therefore P\left ( H \right ) = 14 - P\left ( OH \right ) = 4


Option 1)

10
