Solution

Step 1: Analyzing the given conditions

NH4Cl(Ammonium chloride) is an acidic salt of strong acid(Hydrochloric acid) and weak base(Ammonium hydroxide).

Concentration of NH4Cl = 0.1M

pKb=4.74

Step 2: Calculating the pH of the NH4Cl solution

The formula for the calculation of pH of salt of strong acid and weak base can be represented as:

pH=-12logKw-12logC+12logKb

pH=-12log10(-14)-12log(0.1)+12log(4.7)

pH=7+0.5-0.3360pH=7.163

Therefore, pH of an aqueous solution of 0.1M NH4Cl solution is 7.163
