sf([H^+]=5.34xx10^(-12)color(white)(x)"mol/l")

Explanation:

sf(NH_3+H_2OrightleftharpoonsNH_4^(+)+OH^-)

For a weak base like this we can use the expression:

sf(pOH=1/2(pK_b-log[base])

Putting in the numbers:

sf(pOH=1/2(5.00-log(0.35))

:.sf(pOH=1/2xx5.4559=2.727)

sf(pOH+pH=14)

:.sf(pH=14-pOH=14-2.727=11.27)

Since sf([H^+]=10^(-pH))

This gives:

sf([H^+]=5.34xx10^(-12)color(white)(x)"mol/l")
