Question
**Title: Calculating pH for a Weak Acid/Strong Base Titration**

**Objective:**
Determine the pH during the titration of nitrous acid by sodium hydroxide at various points.

**Experiment Details:**

- **Initial Solution:**
  - Volume: 59.5 mL
  - Concentration: 0.436 M nitrous acid 
  - Acid dissociation constant, \( K_a = 4.5 \times 10^{-4} \)

- **Titrant:**
  - Concentration: 0.436 M NaOH

**Titration Points:**

(a) **Before the addition of any NaOH:**  
   Calculate the initial pH of the nitrous acid solution.

(b) **After the addition of 15.0 mL of NaOH:**  
   Determine the pH after adding a specified volume of the base.

(c) **At the half-equivalence point (the titration midpoint):**  
   Calculate the pH when half of the acid is neutralized.

(d) **At the equivalence point:**  
   Determine the pH when the amount of base added completely neutralizes the acid.

(e) **After the addition of 89.3 mL of NaOH:**  
   Find the pH after adding more base than needed to reach the equivalence point.
