A buffer solution contains 0.89 mol of phenol (HC6H5O) and 0.86 mol of sodium phenoxide (NaC6H5O) in 8.80 L.
The Ka of phenol (HC6H5O) is Ka = 1.3e-10.

(a) What is the pH of this buffer?

pH = 


(b) What is the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.25 mol of NaOH? (assume no volume change)

pH = 


(c) What is the pH of the original buffer after the addition of 0.37 mol of HI? (assume no volume change)

pH =
