Answer

$Ka : N{H_4}^+ = 5.6 \times 10^{-10}$ $Ka : H_3NOH^+ = 9.1 \times 10^{-7}$

Work Step by Step

$K_a * K_b = K_w$ *Just if the acid and the base are conjugate pairs. $N{H_4}^+:$ $K_a * 1.8 * 10^{-5} = 10^{-14} $ $K_a = \frac{10^{-14}}{1.8 * 10^{-5}}$ $K_a = 5.6 \times 10^{-10}$ $H_3NOH^+:$ $K_a * 1.1 * 10^{-8} = 10^{-14} $ $K_a = \frac{10^{-14}}{1.1 * 10^{-8}}$ $K_a = 9.1 \times 10^{-7}$
