Answer : The pH of the solution is, 9.4

Solution :  Given,

Concentration (c) = 0.025 M

Base dissociation constant = pK_b=8.75

First we have to calculate the value of K_b.

The expression used for the calculation of pK_b is,

pK_b=-\log (K_b)

Now put the value of pK_b in this expression, we get:

8.75=-\log (K_b)

K_b=1.78\times 10^{-9}

The given equilibrium reaction is,

                         C_5H_5N+H_2O\rightleftharpoons C_5H_5NH^++OH^-

initially conc.     0.335                    0                0

At eqm.           (0.335-x)                  x                x

Formula used :

k_b=\frac{[C_5H_5NH^+][OH^-]}{[C_5H_5N]}

Now put all the given values in this formula ,we get:

1.78\times 10^{-9}=\frac{(x)(x)}{(0.335-x)}

By solving the terms, we get:

x=2.4\timees 10^{-5}

Now we have to calculate the concentration of hydroxide ion.

[OH^-]=x=2.4\times 10^{-5}M

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

pOH=-\log (2.4\times 10^{-5})

pOH=4.6

Now we have to calculate the pH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=14-4.6\\\\pH=9.4

Therefore, the pH of the solution is, 9.4
