2) Suppose a student obtains a 56.55 mL sample of an unknown (monoprotic) weak acid, and proceeds to titrate a 28.25 mL sample of the acid with 0.098 M NaOH using a phenolphthalein indicator. Once the endpoint of this titration is reached, the titrated solution is mixed with the other half of the unreacted acid sample, and the pH of this resulting solution is found to be 2.98. Given this information, calculate the acid dissociation constant for the unknown acid.
