Buffer capacity is a measure of a buffer solution's resistance to changes in pH as strong acid or base is added. Suppose that you have 105 mL of a buffer that is 0.260 M in both benzoic acid (CH₂COOH) and its conjugate base (CH₂COO¯). Calculate the maximum volume of 0.270M HCl that can be added to the buffer before its buffering capacity is lost. volume: mL
