What is the Ka and pKa for a weak monoprotic acid with given titration data?

In summary, the problem involves finding the Ka and pKa for a weak monoprotic acid using titration data. The pH of the solution after 31.64 mL of NaOH was added is given as 4.96. The concentration of NaOH is not provided. The equations used to solve the problem are the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation and the equilibrium constant equation.

Homework Statement


Kk so the problem is that we have 55.48 ml of NaOH was required to titrate 25 mL of a weak monoprotic acid. After 31.64 mL of NaOH had been added, the pH is 4.96 for the solution. Calculate the Ka and pKa for this weak acid.

Homework Equations


pKa= pH + log(acid/conjugate base) maybe?
ka=products/reactants

The Attempt at a Solution


I wanted to make the NaOh and acid a ratio and then since we know what pH is, just use the first equation but I don't think that'll be correct. Other than that I'm not sure how to approach this. Help will be aprreciated thanks
