          NH3      +   H2O --------------> NH4+ + OH-

   0.126 M                                     0          0

               0.126-x                                      x         x

      Kb = [NH4+] [OH-] /[NH3]

1.8 x 10-5 = x.x / 0.126-x  

Since x is very small, 0.126 -x = 0.126

   Then,

1.8 x 10-5 = x.x / 0.126

   x = 0.0015 M

[OH-] = 0.0015 M

pOH = - log [OH-] = - log (0.0015) = 2.82

Hence,

pH = 14 -pOH= 14- 2.82= 11.18

Therefore,

Initial pH = 11.18
