The equilibrium NH 3 (aq)+H 2 O(l)NH 4 + (aq)+OH (aq) at 25 C is subjected

Question:

The equilibrium NH₃(aq)+H₂O(l)⇌NH₄⁺(aq)+OH⁻(aq) at 25 °C is subjected to a temperature jump which slightly increased the concentration of NH₄⁺(aq) and OH⁻(aq). The measured relaxation time is 7.61ns. The equilibrium constant for the system is 1.78×10⁻⁵ at 25 °C, and the equilibrium concentration of NH₃(aq) is 0.15moldm⁻³. Calculate the rate constants for the forward and reverse steps.
