Solution

The correct option is A 5
Given:
Milimoles of Aniline=0.1×50=5
Milimoles of HCl=0.1×25=2.5
Reaction taking place will be
C6H5NH2 + HCl C6H5NH+3Cl
5 + 2.5 0
2.5 + 0 2.5

Given pH=8
pOH=148=6=pKb


pH of 0.01 M solution of anilinium chloride:

Using the formula,
pH=712PKb12logC

putting the values,

pH=712(6)12log (0.01)

pH=5
