Question
**Equilibrium Reactions Involving Ammonia and Water**

Complete the equations for the following equilibria, calculate \( K_c \) for each reaction and express its value in proper scientific notation.

**(a) Ammonia (acting as a base) reacts with water (acting as an acid):**

- **Equilibrium Reaction:**  
  \(\text{NH}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightleftharpoons\)

- **Equilibrium Constant (\( K_c \)):**  
  \[ \boxed{} \]

**(b) Ammonia (acting as an acid) reacts with water (acting as a base):**

- **Equilibrium Reaction:**  
  \(\text{NH}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightleftharpoons\)

- **Equilibrium Constant (\( K_c \)):**  
  \[ \boxed{} \]

**Species and \( pK_a \) values:**

\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|}
\hline
\text{Species} & pK_a \\
\hline
\text{NH}_3 & 35 \\
\text{NH}_4^+ & 9.25 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

This exercise involves completing and analyzing the given equilibrium reactions where ammonia acts in different roles, either as a base or an acid. The \( pK_a \) values of the involved species are provided to assist in these calculations.
