Solution

The correct option is C 10
For weak base ammonium hydroxide,
$[O H^{-}] = \sqrt{k_{b} \times c}$
Substitute values in the above expression,
$[O H^{-}] = \sqrt{10^{- 5} \times 10^{- 3}} = 10^{- 4}$ M
$p O H = - l o g [O H^{-}] = - l o g 10^{- 4} = 4$
$p H = 14 - p O H = 14 - 4 = 10$

$p H$ of a mixture of $H A$ and $A^{-}$ buffer is $5$ . $K_{b}$ of $A^{-} = 10^{- 10}$ . Hence $\frac{[H A]}{[A^{-}]}$ will be:
