What is the pH of a solution of HN3 (Ka=1.9×10−5) and NaN3 is 4.86?

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?
