Answer the following questions about ascorbic acid (vitamin C).

Ascorbic acid, HAsc (a q), acts as a weak acid, as shown in the equation.

\mathrm{HAsc}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) \rightleftarrows \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{Asc}^{-}(a q)

The following titration curve was produced when a 10.0 mL sample of HAsc (a q) was titrated using $0.0550 M \mathrm{NaOH}(a q)$ .
