Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
When we titrate weak acid with strong base

$H A + N a O H \to H_{2} O + N a A$

at half equivalence point $N a A = H A$

$p H = p K_{a} + log (\frac{s a l t (N a A)}{a c i d (H A)})$

$p H = p K_{a}$ $[∵ N a A = H A]$ (Acid = Salt)
Option (A) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
