in aqueous solution

NH4OH   ---->  NH4+ + OH-

NH4Cl  --------->  NH4+ + cl-

 Kb for NH4OH = [NH4+][OH-] /NH4OH

here common ion effect is observed ....

 Kb = [NH4Cl][OH-]/NH4OH

     =[OH-]                                     (NH4Cl =NH4OH)

H+ = 10-8                   (given)

OH- =Kw/H+ =10-6

Kb = 10-6

Pkb =6
