$3 \; g$ of acetic acid is added to $250 \; mL$ of $0.1 \; M \; HCl$ and the solution is made up to $500 \; mL$. To $20 \; mL$ of this solution,$\frac{1}{2} \; mL$ of $5 \; M \; NaOH$ is added. The $pH$ of the solution is: [Given: $pK_{a}$ of acetic acid $= 4.75$,molar mass of acetic acid $= 60 \; g/mol$,$\log 3 = 0.4771$]. Neglect any changes in volume.

During the titration of $N/10$ acetic acid with $N/10 \, NaOH$,what is the $pH$ of the solution when $25\%$,$50\%$,and $75\%$ of the titration is complete? $[K_a = 10^{-5}]$
