Relation between Ka and Kb -

K_{a}\times K_{b}=K_{W}

or\:P(K_{a})+P(K_{b})=P(K_{W})=14   (at\:298K)

- wherein

K_{a}=dissociation \:constant\:of\:acid

K_{b}=dissociation \:constant\:of\:base

K_{W}=ionic \:product\:of\:water

 

K_{a} =\frac{K_{w}}{K_{e}}  K_{a} =\frac{K_{w}}{K_{e}}\: = \frac{10^{-14}}{1.7\times 10^{-9}} = 5.8\times 10^{-6}

C_{5}H_{5}N + H_{2}O  \Leftrightarrow C_{5}H_{5}NH+C_{5}H_{5}NH ^{\left ( + \right )} + OH^{\left ( - \right )}

1-x                                                                  x                         x

5.8\times 10^{-6} = x^{2}

x=7.6\times 10^{-4}

% of pyridie = \frac{7.6\times 10^{-4}\times 100}{0.1}      = 0.76
