An analytical chemist is titrating 243.8 mL of a 0.7000 M solution of butanoic acid (HC3H,CO2) with a 0.3800 M solution of NaOH. The pK of butanoic acid is 4.82. Calculate the pH of the acid solution after the chemist has added 278.5 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. PH ☐ olo Ar
