A buffer is prepared by using 0.20 mole of C6H5COOH and 0.40 mole of C6H5COO- in 1.00 liter of aqueous solution.  Is the buffering capacity of this solution great enough to maintain its pH within ±1 when 15 g of HNO3 is added? Group of answer choices No, the concentration of benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) in this buffer solution is not high enough. Yes, the concentration of benzoate ions (C6H5COO-) in this buffer solution is great enough. Yes, the concentration of benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) in this buffer solution is great enough. No, the concentration of benzoate ions (C6H5COO-) in this buffer solution is not high enough.
