    When the balanced reaction equation is:

    and by using ICE table:

    C6H5NH3 + (aq) + H2O (l) ↔ C6H5NH2 (aq) + H3O + (aq)

    initial 0.35 0 0

    change - X + X + X

    Equ (0.35-X) X X

    so, the Ka expression = [C6H5NH2][H3O]/[C6H5NH3+]

    when Ka = Kw / Kb

    and we know that Kw = 1 x 10 ^-14 & Kb is given = 4.2 x 10^-10

    ∴ Ka = (1 x 10^-14) / (4.2 x 10^-10)

    = 2.4 x 10^-5

    by substitution on Ka expression:

    2.4 x 10^-5 = X*X / (0.35-X) by solving for X

    ∴ X = 0.00289 M

    ∴[H3O+] = X = 0.00289

    when PH = - ㏒[H3O+]

    = - ㏒ 0.00289

    ∴PH = 2.54
