Solution

The correct option is D (1.5×103)
Given,
[OH]=1.5×101
Kb=1.8×105
The reaction involved is
NH3+H2ONH+4+OH
Kb=[NH+4][OH][NH3](1)
From above reaction it is clear that equilibrium concentration of [OH] is same as equilibrium concentration of [NH+4]
From (1) Kb=[OH][OH]NH3]
[NH3]=[OH]2Kb
=(1.5×101)1.8×105
=2.25×1021.8×105
=1.25×103
=0.125×104
