Which of the following mixtures gives a buffer solution with $pH = 9.25$?
Given: $pK_{b} (NH_{4}OH) = 4.75$

The $pOH$ of a basic buffer (e.g.,$NH_4OH/NH_4Cl$) is $5$. If the concentration of the salt is tripled while the concentration of the base remains constant,find the new $pOH$ value. (Given: $\log 3 = 0.48$)

$0.1 \ M$ $CH_3COOH$ is titrated against $0.1 \ M$ $NaOH$. What would be the difference in $pH$ between $1/4$ and $3/4$ stages of neutralization of the acid?
