    Look at the concentrations. What will happen if mixed? What will be left over after neutralization?

    Well, to calculate the pH you take pKa + log([A−]/[HA]), and so you have to calculate the pKa, which is -logKa and that's where the problem is. I don't know how to calculate the Ka.

    You have a computer, so find the generic formula for calculating ka
