An analytical chemist is titrating 93.1 mL of a 0.8600 M solution of butanoic acid (HC,H,CO,) with a 1.100M solution of KOH. The p K of butanoic acid is 4.82. Calculate the pH of the acid solution after the chemist has added 83.4 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.

**Titration Problem: Calculating pH After a Reaction**

An analytical chemist is titrating 93.1 mL of a 0.8600 M solution of butanoic acid \((HC_3H_7CO_2)\) with a 1.100 M solution of KOH. The \(pK_a\) of butanoic acid is 4.82. Calculate the pH of the acid solution after the chemist has added 83.4 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.

- **Input Box for pH Calculation:**
  - The pH is entered in a text box labeled "pH = " with an adjacent input field.
  
- **Buttons:**
  - There are three buttons below the input field:
    - A checkmark (✓) to submit or verify the answer.
    - A circular arrow (↻) to reset the input.
    - A question mark (?) for accessing hints or additional information.
