I thought that at equilibrium pH=pKa which would make the answer 7, but the answer is 4 and I don't understand how to get that.

The equilibrium expression for the ionization of a weak monoprotic acid, HA, is: Ka = [H3O+][A-]/[HA]

The equilibrium constant for the reaction between a weak acid and a weak base can be calculated from the relevant Ka, Kb, and Kw using the rules for combining equilibrium constants. Find the Knet for the reaction between formic acid (HCOOH) and ammonia given the Ka (HCOOH) = 1.8 x 10⁻⁴ and Kb ammonia = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵.
