Explanation / Answer

Volume of NaOH when solution turns pink : 4.5 mL

Volume of NaOH at the equivalence point : 4.75 mL

pH at the equivalence point : 8.25

Volume at half-equivalence point : 2.375 mL

pH at half equivalence point : 4.75

pH = pKa at this point

Ka (equilibrium constant) = 1.78 x 10^-5

Experimental Ka of actic acid = 1.78 x 10^-5

Theoretical value of Ka of acetic acid = 1.75 x 10^-5

The values of Ka of theoretical and experimental are very close to one another. So their is almost no difference observed between the two values.
