(A) Given: $c = 0.001 \,M = 10^{-3} \,M$,$K_{b} = 4.27 \times 10^{-10}$.
$1$. Degree of ionization $(\alpha)$:
For a weak base,$\alpha = \sqrt{\frac{K_{b}}{c}} = \sqrt{\frac{4.27 \times 10^{-10}}{10^{-3}}} = \sqrt{4.27 \times 10^{-7}} = \sqrt{42.7 \times 10^{-8}} \approx 6.53 \times 10^{-4}$.
$2$. $pH$ of the solution:
$[OH^-] = c \alpha = 10^{-3} \times 6.53 \times 10^{-4} = 6.53 \times 10^{-7} \,M$.
$pOH = -\log[OH^-] = -\log(6.53 \times 10^{-7}) = 7 - \log(6.53) \approx 7 - 0.815 = 6.185$.
$pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 6.185 = 7.815$.
$3$. Ionization constant of conjugate acid $(K_{a})$:
$K_{a} \times K_{b} = K_{w} = 10^{-14}$.
$K_{a} = \frac{10^{-14}}{4.27 \times 10^{-10}} \approx 2.34 \times 10^{-5}$.
