We are given the base dissociation constant, Kb, for Pyridine (C5H5N) which is 1.4x10^-9. The acid dissociation constant, Ka for the Pyridium ion or the conjugate acid of Pyridine is to be determined. We know from our chemistry classes that:
Kw = Kb * Ka
where Kw is always equal to 1x10^-14
so, to solve for Ka of Pyridium ion, substitute Kb to the equation together with Kw and solve for Ka:
1x10^-14 = 1.4x10^-9 * Ka
solve for Ka
Ka = 7.14x10^-6
Therefore, the acid dissociation constant of Pyridinium ion is 7.14x10^-6.

B. Recycles slowly
And it also depends on the organism
The value of Kc for the thermal decomposition of H₂S is 2.2 x 10⁻⁴ at 1400 K:
2 H₂S(g) ↔ 2 H₂(g) + S₂(g)
initial 3.5 M 0 0
at equilibrium 3.5 M - 2x 2x x
Kc = [S₂][H₂]² / [H₂S]²
2.2 X 10⁻⁴ = x(2x)² / (3.5 - 2x)²
2.2 x 10⁻⁴ = 4 x³ / (3.5)² Assuming x <<<<< 3.5
x = 0.088
Thus [H₂S] = 3.324 M
