Answer #1

On titration of weak acid with base to find out the pKa you only have to look upto equivalence point. whwre all acid has been neutralised.

Now initially ther is a buffering region, where conjugate base is converting into conjugate acid, thus the H+ concentration does not change , and also the pH does not change as we see.

Now at the middle of the buffering region where base concentraion equal to acid concentration, i.e. using Henderson equation

pH = pKa + log (base/acid)

the log term vanishes and pH =pK a From this graph approx it is  3.5- 3.7 (pKa)
