Problem

A 50.0 mL sample contains 0.300 M NH3\mathrm{NH_3} and 0.300 M NH4Cl\mathrm{NH_4Cl} (pKapK_a for NH4+\mathrm{NH_4^+} is 9.25). A pellet of solid NaOH (0.50 g, molar mass 40.0 g/mol) dissolves completely in the solution; the volume change is negligible. Calculate the pH after the NaOH has dissolved. Provide the answer to two decimal places.
