use Ka or Kb to solve for the pH for the corresponding equilibrium expression.

Write a chemical equation. ;)

Regardless of what pH is, only 3.1% ammonia is in protonated form. BATE rulez  :)

NH3 + H2O <-> NH4+ + OH-
Kb = [OH-][NH4+]/[NH3]
let x be change in NH3 concentration
[NH3] = 0.018 - x
[NH4+] = x
[OH-] = x

solve for x, then use pH + pOH = 14 to find the required pH

How do you work out the pH of anything in chemistry...

i think the best mean is to use a pH meter to directly measure the pH, instead of us pressing numbers on our calculator. LOL

On paper? Or in practice?
