Ka of this acid
« on: October 06, 2008, 07:41:06 PM »
26.20 ml of 0.102M Naoh is needed to neutralize 25.00 ml of an unknown acid HA. The pH at the equivalence point was measured to be 8.77. What is the Ka of this acid?

Calculate stoichiometry of neutralization and use Henderson-Haselbach equation.

You don't use Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to calculate pH at the equivalence point.
