The pH of a solution of HN3 (Ka=1.9×10−5) and NaN3 is 4.86.
I figured this out but according to my HW it is wrong so can someone show me how to do this?
pH=Pka+log [N3-]/[HN3]
Pka=-log (ka) so Pka= -log(1.9*10^-5)= 4.7212
log [N3-]/[0.018]= 4.86-4.72
log [N3-]/[0.018]= 0.1387
10^(0.014)=1.387
[N3-]/0.018=1.387
[N3-]=0.02M
What am I doing wrong?

you ask wrong q:
pH = pKa -lg(acid/base)
4,86 = 4,72 -lg(0,018/base)
lg(...) = -0,14
0,018/base = 0,72
[base] = 0,025 M
I am not sure about this
