An analytical chemist is titrating 70.8mL of a 0.7400M solution of butanoic acid HC3H7CO2 with a 1.100M solution of KOH. The pKa of butanoic acid is 4.82. Calculate the pH of the acid solution after the chemist has added 55.5mL of the KOH solution to it. Note for advanced students: you may assume the final volume equals the initial volume of the solution plus the volume of KOH solution added. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
