An analytical chemist is titrating 198.6 mL of a 0.7200M solution of formic acid (H₂CO₂) with a 0.7700M solution of KOH. The p K of formic acid is 3.74. Calculate the pH of the acid solution after the chemist has added 209.6 mL 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.
