The Henderson’s equation used to calculate the ${\rm{pOH}}$ of basic buffer is:

${\rm{pOH}} = {\rm{p}}{K_b} + \log \frac{{\left[ {{\rm{Conjugate\; acid}}} \right]}}{{\left[ {{\rm{\;Base}}} \right]}}$

${\rm{pOH}} = {\rm{p}}{K_b} - \log \frac{{\left[ {{\rm{Conjugate\; acid}}} \right]}}{{\left[ {{\rm{\;Base}}} \right]}}$

${\rm{pOH}} = {\rm{p}}{K_b} + \log \frac{{\left[ {{\rm{Base}}} \right]}}{{\left[ {{\rm{Conjugate\; acid}}} \right]}}$

${\rm{pOH}} = {\rm{p}}{K_b} - \log \frac{{\left[ {{\rm{Base}}} \right]}}{{\left[ {{\rm{Conjugate\; acid}}} \right]}}$

The Henderson’s equation used to calculate the

\mathrm{pOH}

of basic buffer is:

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

\mathrm{pOH} = \mathrm{p}{K_b} + \log \frac{{\left[ {\mathrm{Conjugate\; acid}} \right]}}{{\left[ {\mathrm{\;Base}} \right]}}

Option A (

\mathrm{pOH} = \mathrm{p}{K_b} + \log \frac{{\left[ {\mathrm{Conjugate\; acid}} \right]}}{{\left[ {\mathrm{\;Base}} \right]}}

) is correct because it represents the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for a basic buffer, relating pOH to pKb and the ratio of conjugate acid to base concentrations.
