A buffer solution contains 1.250 mol of phenol, C6H5OH, and 0.950 mol of sodium phenoxide, C6H5ONa, in 1.00 L of solution.  Ka = 1.30 x 10-10.

a.  What is the pH of this buffer?

b.  What is the pH of this buffer after the addition of 0.525 mol of NaOH?  (assume no volume change upon the addition of the NaOH)

c.  To the buffer produced in part a, what is the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.225 mol of HCl?  (assume no volume change up the addition of the HCl)
