The information given in the question is not enough to determine the acidity of the solution. This is because, acidity can only be found with the equation: pH = -log [H+].
In order to determine the acidity of the solution, the half titration point value is needed, this will make it possible to determine the value of H30+. If the half point titration value is known, then Ka will be equivalent to pH and the value will be evaluated using the equation: - log (1.6 * 10^-10).
