Q. For the basic buffer solution the pH is 9.3. The pH can be increased by:

JIPMERJIPMER 1997

Solution:

The pOH of a basic buffer solution is given by Handersons equation $ pOH=p{{K}_{b}}+\log \frac{[salt]}{[base]} $ This equation shows that increase in concentration of base will decrease pOH ie., will increase pH (pH = 14 - pOH).
