$K_{b}=4.27 \times 10^{-10}$
$c=0.001 \,M\, pH$ $=?$
$a=?$
$k_{b}=c \alpha^{2}$
$4.27 \times 10^{-10}=0.001 \times \alpha^{2}$
$4270 \times 10^{-10}=\alpha^{2}$
$65.34 \times 10^{-5}=\alpha=6.53 \times 10^{-4}$
Then, [anion] $=c \alpha=.001 \times 65.34 \times 10^{-5}$
$=.065 \times 10^{-5}$
$ pOH =-\log \left(.065 \times 10^{-5}\right) $
$=6.187$
$pH =7.813$
Now,
$K_{a} \times K_{b}=K_{w}$
$\therefore 4.27 \times 10^{-10} \times K_{a}=K_{w}$
$ K_{a} =\frac{10^{-14}}{4.27 \times 10^{-10}}$
$=2.34 \times 10^{-5} $
Thus, the ionization constant of the conjugate acid of aniline is $2.34 \times 10^{-5}$
