And what is pK_apKa for "ammonium chloride"ammonium chloride?

Explanation:

For the reaction:

NH_4^+ + H_2O(l) rightleftharpoons NH_3(aq) + H_3O^+NH+4+H2O(l)NH3(aq)+H3O+

K_aKa == ([NH_3(aq)][H_3O^+])/([NH_4^+])[NH3(aq)][H3O+][NH+4]

K_aKa == x^2/(0.35-x)x20.35x, where xx == [H_3O^+][H3O+] == [NH_3][NH3]

pHpH == -log_10[H_3O^+]log10[H3O+] may be solved exactly, once we have details of K_aKa. And K_aKa == ??????
