(a) K_{\mathrm{b}, \mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{~N}}=\frac{K_{\mathrm{w}}}{K_{\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{NH}^{+}}}=\frac{1.00 \times 10^{-14}}{5.90 \times 10^{-6}}=1.69 \times 10^{-9}

(b) K_{\mathrm{b}, \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{PO}_{4}^{-}}=\frac{K_{\mathrm{w}}}{K_{\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}}}=\frac{1.00 \times 10^{-14}}{7.11 \times 10^{-3}}=1.41 \times 10^{-12}
