Solution

The correct option is B 4.65
mmol of NH4OH=50×0.02=1
mmol of HCl=50.1×0.02=1.002

NH4OH (aq)+HCl (aq)NH4Cl (aq)+H2O (l)Initially: 1 1.002 0 0Final: 0 0.002 1 1
Final Concentration =Moles Total Volume
Taking Total volume 100 mL for calculation purposes.
[HCl]=0.002100=2×105 M[NH4Cl]=1100=0.01 M
We will take H+ from both HCl and hydrolysis of NH4Cl
NH4Cl will further hydrolyse as

NH+4 (aq)+H2O (l)NH4OH (aq)+H+ (aq)Equilibrium: C(1h) Ch Ch
where h is the degree of hydrolysis:
h=KwKb×Ch=10141.8×105×0.01h=5.55×108h=2.35×104
[H+]=Ch=0.01×2.35×104[H+]=2.35×106
[H+]total=[H+]HCl+[H+]NH4Cl[H+]total=(2×105)+(2.35×106)=2.235×105pH=log[H+]pH=log(2.235×105)=(50.35)pH=4.65
