    The main formulas are pH=pKa + log (Base/Acid) and pKa = - log (Ka)

    so firstly, we must find the value of pKa,

    Ka=6.37 x 10 ^-5, and then logKa = log (6.37. 10^-5) = - 9.66, so - logKa = + 9.66=Ka

    next let's find log (Base/Acid)

    for that the concentration of NaOH is [NaOH] = 500.0 x 0.110 / 500+535 = 0.053M, the concentration of the Acid is [Acid] = 535*0.25 / 500+535 = 0.12M, so its difference is [Acid] - [NaOH] = 0.12-0.053=0.07

    so pH = pKa + log (Base/Acid) = 9.66 + log (0.053 / 0.07) = 9.66-0.36=9.29

    so pH=9.29.
