Addition of sodium acetate solution to a...

Addition of sodium acetate solution to acetic acid causes the following change–

A

increases in pH

B

decrease in pH

C

no change in pH

D

change in pH that cannot be predicted

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Adding `CH_(3)COONa` to `CH_(3)COOH` will suppress dissociation of acetic acid, resulting in decrease in `[H^(+)]` and hence pH increases
