By adding NaOH you have formed a buffered solution. Take 1 L soln, so you have
1000 x 0.559 M = 559 millimols PhCOOH.
1000 x 0.0225M = 22.5 mmols NaOH
.......PhCOOH + NaOH ==> PhCOONa + H2O
initial..559................0........0
added...........22.5...................
change....-22.5..-22.5.....22.5
equil....536.5...0..........22.5
Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation and solve for pH.
