An analytical chemist is titrating 185.8 mL of a 0.9600M solution of butanoic acid (HC3H,CO₂) with a 0.4800M solution of NaOH. The p K of butanoic acid is 4.82. Calculate the pH of the acid solution after the chemist has added 244.7 mL of the NaOH solution to it. Note for advanced students: you may assume the final volume equals the initial volume of the solution plus the volume of NaOH solution added. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Question
An analytical chemist is titrating 185.8 mL of a 0.9600 M solution of butanoic acid (HC₄H₇CO₂) with a 0.4800 M solution of NaOH. The pKa of butanoic acid is 4.82. Calculate the pH of the acid solution after the chemist has added 244.7 mL of the NaOH solution to it.

*Note for advanced students:* you may assume the final volume equals the initial volume of the solution plus the volume of NaOH solution added.

Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

The interface includes an input box to enter the calculated pH with buttons for clearing the input or resetting the calculation.
