acid base - calculating pH - is my answer correct?


I'am working on this exercice, Is my answer correct? and can you please help me to solve the second part?


exercice:


1/Calculate the ionization coefficient and pH (with two methods) of a 0.1M ammonia solution of pkb = 4.7


2/ to one liter of the previous solution, an equal volume of water is added. Calculate the new ionization coefficient and deduce the pH of this new solution




1/ For the first part my answer is :


$\ce{NH3 + H2O = NH4+ + OH^-}\tag{1}$


$Ka = \dfrac{\ce{[NH4+][OH^-]}}{\ce{[NH3+]}}\tag{2}$



The coefficient of ionization $\alpha$


$\alpha = \sqrt{Ka/C°}\tag{3}$


$Pkb = \log{kb}\tag{4}$


$Kb= 10-pkb\tag{5}$


$\alpha =0,014\tag{6}$


Two methods:


First one:


$pH= \frac{1}{2} (pka + 14 + \log{C°})\tag{7} $


$pka + pkb=14\tag{8}$


$pH = 11,15\tag{9}$



second method:


$14 + \log (\alpha C°) = 11,15\tag{10}$


for the second part, i am lost


Thank you
