I am talking about the addition about ammonium to water; by using the Ka value (9.25), i can theoretically calculate the concentration of hydrogen atoms by using a quadratical equation, is this possible? By using this equation i get pH values which are higher instead of lower than 7 which is very disturbing indeed. Any help would be appreciated

PS: not sure if ammonium can be qualified as a strong acid
