Solution

The correct option is D $5.35$
$N H_{4} C l$ is a salt of strong acid and weak base. Hence the formula for calculating its $p H$ can be written as
$p H = \frac{1}{2} [p K_{w} - p K_{b} - log C]$
$p H = \frac{1}{2} [14 - p K_{b} - log C] p H = 7 - \frac{5}{2} - \frac{1}{2} (log 2 \times 10^{- 2}) p H = 5.35$
