Q.

A solution of weak acid HA is being titrated with 0.1M NaOH  solution. End point is reached on addition of x mL of  NaOH. To the above solution,   x2mL of 0.10M  HCl is added further then the pH of resulting solution was found to be 5. The  pH at the  NaOH end point if initial concentration of acid was 0.10M is ___________(round off to nearest integer)

Our first objective here is to find Ka  of the weak acid. From initial concentration of acid, base and end point volume of NaOH , is evident that initial volume of acid was also x  mL , At  NaOH end point, mmol of  NaA salt  =0.10x. After adding  HCl, following neutralization will occur:
        HCl+NaANaCl+HA       
Initial: 0.10x2 0.01x B 0  0                    
Final:   0           0.10x2  0.01x2  0.01x2                  
The above solution is a buffer with same concentration of HA and its conjugate base. Applying Henderson’s equation
   pH=pKa+log[A1][HA]=pKa=5Ka=105
Now, at the NaOH  and point, it is solution of NaA where   hydrolyses as:
 A+H2O HA+OH Kh=kwka=109 [OH]=KhC=109×0.05=105
 POH=5.15  and  PH=8.85
