Solution

The correct option is B 4.75
We know the relation,
pH+pOH=14 (at 25oC)
9.25+pOH=14
pOH=149.25
pOH=4.75 .....(1)
Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for weak bases:
pOH=pKb+log[[conjugate acid][base]]
pOH=pKb+log (1)
pOH=pKb (log 1=0)
pKb=4.75 (from equation 1)
Hence pKb value is 4.75
