Expert Solution
Step 1

It is given that concentration of weak base is equal to 0.275 M and base constant is equal to 1.3×10-10. For calculating pH of the solution, first pOH of solution has to be find out. As it is weak acid, it will not dissociates completely and dissociation constant, α comes into account.
