Problem

During the titration of a monoprotic weak acid with a strong base, what is the numerical relationship between the solution’s pH and the acid’s KaK_a at the half-equivalence volume? a) pH=12 pKa\text{pH} = \dfrac{1}{2}\,\text{p}K_a b) pH=pKa\text{pH} = \text{p}K_a c) pH=14−pKa\text{pH} = 14 - \text{p}K_a d) pH≈pKa−0.30\text{pH} \approx \text{p}K_a - 0.30
