    6.7970 g

    Explanation:

    Considering the Henderson - Hasselbalch equation for the calculation of the pOH of the basic buffer solution as:

    pOH = pK + log[acid] / [base]

    Where K is the dissociation constant of the base.

    Base dissociation constant of the ammonia = 1.8*10⁻⁵

    pK = - log (Kb) = - log (1.8*10⁻⁵) = 4.75

    Given concentration of base = [base] = 0.273 M

    pH = 10.150

    pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 10.150 = 3.85

    So,

    3.85 = 4.75 + log[acid]/0.273

    [Acid] = 0.0347 M

    Given that Volume = 2 L

    So, Moles = Molarity * Volume

    Moles = 0.0347 * 2 = 0.0694 moles

    Molar mass of ammonium bromide = 97.94 g/mol

    Mass = Moles * Molar mass = (0.00775 * 97.94) g = 6.7970 g
