1. The easiest way to solve this problem is by using the following formula:
M1V1=M2V2 (where M1 is molarity before dilution, V1 is the intial volume, M2 is molarity after dilution and V2 is the total final volume) and so 10x0.1=40xM2 and so M2=0.025M
this is our new NH3 concentration
we know that in H2O NH3 will undergo the following equilibrium:
NH3 + H2O --> NH4+ + OH- and that Kb= [OH][NH4+]/[NH3]
we will consider that at equilibrium x molar wil change from NH3 to products. and accoring to the mole rule (stiochiometry we know from the coefficients in the equation that 1 mole of NH3 gives 1 mole of NH4+ and 1 mole of OH- and so for x mole of NH3 undergoing acid/base change x moles of each NH4+ and OH- are generated)
and so 1.8X10^-5=x*x/(0.025-x)
for all puposes we can consider that x is much smaller than [NH3] and so 0.025-x=0.025
hence: 1.8*10^-5=x^2/0.025 and so x=6.7*10^-4
the [OH-]=6.7x10^-4 and so pOH= ...
