Expert Solution
Step 1

Solution -

According to the question -

Given -

 to determine pka and acid

pka is the pH of solution when exactly half of acid is neutralized.

Mean by ratio of acid to conjugate base = 1

Volume of base required to reach half the equivalence point = 8.0 / 2 = 4.0 ml

pH at 4.0 ml base volume = 7.5

So, pka of acid = 7.5

Acid is HClO because pka of HClO is 7.5
