When a 0.1M solution of a weak acid was titrated with base, the following results were obtained:

Equivalents of base added pH observed

0.05 3.4

0.15 3.9

0.25 4.2

0.40 4.5

0.60 4.9

0.75 5.2

0.85 5.4

0.95 6.0

Plot the results of this titration and determine the pKa of the weak acid from your graph.

Answer #1

5.71 5.30 .5.05 4.72 4.39 4. 3.73 0.15 0.25 0.35 0.45 0.55 o.65 -75 .05

yaxis is pH
x axis is equivalents of base added.
from graph at half equivalence point ie at 0.5 ph is 4.7
and we know that at half equivalance

pH=pKa
so, pKa=4.7
