A solid weak acid is weighed, dissolved in water and diluted to exactly 50.00 ml. 25.00 ml of the solution is taken out and is titrated to a neutral endpoint with 0.10 M NaOH. The titrated portion is then mixed with the remaining untitrated portion and the pH of the mixture is measured. Mass of acid weighed out (grams) 0.755 Volume of NaOH required to reach endpoint: (ml) 18.8 pH of the mixture (half neutralized solution) 3.51 Calculate the following 1) What is the pKa of the acid?

Gusing the milligrams of ascorbic acid you entered above, the ratio of total sample volume to aliquot volume, and the total milligrams of the vitamin c tablet that you dissolved, calculate the mass of ascorbic acid in the vitamin c tablet for each trial. do this by scaling up to find the amount (mg) of ascorbic acid in your 250 ml flask. enter your calculated mass of ascorbic acid in the vitamin c tablet, for each trial. be sure to enter your calculated mass in the corresponding order that you entered your milligrams of ascorbic acid. the milligrams of ascorbic acid you entered for entry #1 previously should correspond to the mass of ascorbic acid that you enter for entry #1 here.
