A \(25.0\ \text{mL}\) sample of a weak monoprotic acid HA is titrated with \(0.100\ \text{M}\) NaOH. At the half‑equivalence point the measured pH is \(4.75\). After adding \(12.5\ \text{mL}\) of NaOH the pH is \(9.20\). Determine (a) the acid dissociation constant \(K_a\) of HA and (b) the initial concentration of HA in the sample.

Answer Options

A. K_a = 1.78×10⁻⁵; initial concentration = 0.0600 M
B. K_a = 2.10×10⁻⁵; initial concentration = 0.0450 M
Correct Answer C. K_a = 1.78×10⁻⁵; initial concentration = 0.0500 M
D. K_a = 1.78×10⁻⁴; initial concentration = 0.0500 M
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
K_a = 1.78×10⁻⁵; initial concentration = 0.0500 M
