We dissolve 3.54 g of an unknown acid, HA, in enough water to produce 25.0 mL of solution. We titrate this solution with a 0.250 M solution of NaOH. It takes 20.7 mL of the NaOH solution to reach the equivalence point. The pH at the equivalence point is 12.00. (a) What is the molar mass of HA? (b) What is the pKa value of HA(aq)? (c) What was the original pH of the solution of HA(aq)?
