Expert Answer
The mixture of NH3 with NH4Cl is a buffer solution as it is a mixture of weak base (NH3) with its conjugated acid (NH4+) from NH4Cl.
NH4Cl is a soluble ionic compound, therefore when it is added to water it undergoes the below reaction:

H2ONHA aq) Cl (aq) NHCl 4 S 4 340
The given solution contains 0.20 M NH3 and 0.30 M NH4+. Since it is a solution of a weak base and its conjugate acid, and so is a buffer solution and to calculate the pH of buffer solution, Henderson equation must be used:
