Explanation / Answer

Calculation of pKa

Sample : 2

moles = molarity x volume

So,

moles of acid present (HX) = 0.1 M x 50 ml = 5 mmol

moles of NaOH added = 0.1 M x 10 ml = 1 mmol

[NaX] formed = 1 mmol/60 ml = 0.0167 M

[HX] remained = 4 mmol/60 ml = 0.0667 M

this is a buffer solution

Using,

pH = pKa + log(base/acid)

with,

[base] = NaX

[acid] = HX

pH = 4.76

we get,

pKa = pH + log(NaX/HX)

       = 4.76 + log(0.0167/0.0667)

       = 4.16

Similarly calculations from other sample data can be done.
