Calculate the $\ce{pH}$ of a $100$ $\ce{mL}$ solution containing $0$$.0375$ moles of the weak base, Sodium Benzoate, $\ce{C6H5COONa}$.
$$\ce{C6H5COO + H2O -> C6H6COO- + OH-}$$
$$\frac{0.0375 ~\mathrm{mol}}{.100~ \mathrm{L}} = 0.375~M$$ $$\ce{pOH} = 0.43$$ $$\ce{pH} = 13.57$$
Is this right? Thank you.
