Establish the relation betweenn pH, pOH and pK_(w) in case of pure water or any aqueous solution.

When a salt reacts with water to form acidic or basic solution , the process is called hydrolysis . The pH of salt solution can be calculated using the following relations : pH = 1/2 [pK_(w) +pK_(a) + logc] (for salt of weak acid and strong base .) pH = 1/2 [pK_(w) - pK_(b) - logc] (for salt of weak base and strong acid ) . pH = 1/2 [ pK_(w)+pK_(a)-pK_(b)] (for weak acid and weak base ). where 'c' represents the concentration of salt . When a weak acid or a weak base not completely neutralized by strong base or strong acid respectively , then formation of buffer takes place . The pH of buffer solution can be calculated using the following relation : pH = pK_(a) + log . (["Salt"])/(["Acid"]) , pOH = pK_(b) + log . (["Salt"])/([ "Base"]) Answer the following questions using the following data : pK_(a) = 4.7447 , pK_(b) = 4.7447 ,pK_(w) = 14 When 100 mL of 0.1 M NH_(4)OH is added to 50 mL of 0.1M HCl solution , the pH is
