Answer

See the answer below.

Work Step by Step

First equilibrium: $K_{b1}=[N_2H_5^+][OH^-]/[N_2H_4]$ $8.5\cdot10^{-7}=x^2/(0.010\ M-x)$ $x=9.18\cdot10^{-5}\ M$ Second equilibrium: $K_{b2}=[N_2H_6^{2+}][OH^-]/[N_2H_5^+]$ $8.9\cdot10^{-16}=y(9.18\cdot10^{-5}+y)/(9.18\cdot10^{-5}-y)$ $y=8.9\cdot10^{-16}\ M$ a) $[N_2H_6^{2+}]=8.9\cdot10^{-16}\ M, [OH^-]=[N_2H_5^+]=9.18\cdot10^{-5}\ M$ b) $pH=14+log(9.18\cdot10^{-5})=9.96$
