You know it will be acidic because it hydrolyzes to give H3O^+.
Part a is a 2.0 M solution; part b is a 0.2 M solution.
....................NH4^+ + HOH ==> NH3 + H3O^+
I....................0.2M........................0............0
C......................-x..........................x............x
E...................0.2-x.........................x............x
Ka for NH4^+ = Kw/Kb for NH3 = (NH4^+)(H3O^+)/(NH4^+)
Plug the E line into the Ka expression and solve for H3O^+, then convert to pH. You should get in the neighborhood of 5 for the pH.
