Okay, either I'm crazy, or the website has the wrong answer. I got 2.04. The question is calculate the pH of .13M HF. HF's Ka is 6.8x10^-4.

Yeah, I too got 2.03 and we just went over this stuff in class

Haha, missed a - and got 2.03.. then added the negative and got 2.04
Evidently our book had 3.5*10^-4.
