Explanation:

Given that:

$pK_{b}=-\log\ K_{b}=-\log(8.0\times 10^{-5})=4.1$

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

$pOH=pK_b+log\frac{[conjugate\ acid]}{[base]}$

So,

$pOH=4.1+\log\frac{0.540}{0.250}=4.43$

pH + pOH = 14

So, pH = 14 - 4.43 = 9.57
