In a buffer solution prepared from 10 mL of 3.0 M benzoic acid (HC6H5CO2) added to 20 mL of a 2.0 M sodium benzoate (NaC6H5CO2) and diluted to a total volume of 200mL- Calculate each of the following:
a. The original pH of the buffer solution
b. The pH upon addition of 8.0 mL of 2.0 M NaOH to part a
c. The pH upon addition of 30.0 mL of 2.0 M HCl to part a
