The ionisation constant of NH4+NH_4^+ in water is 5.6×10−105.6 \times 10^{-10} at 25°C. The rate constant for the reaction of NH4+NH_4^+ and OH−OH^- to form NH3NH_3 and H2OH_2O at 25°C is 3.4×10103.4 \times 10^{10} litre mol-1 sec-1. Calculate the rate constant for proton transfer from water to NH3NH_3.
