The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will analyze the interaction between acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and understand the concept of the reverse ion effect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Components**: - Acetic acid (CH₃COOH) is a weak acid that partially dissociates in solution to form CH₃COO⁻ (acetate ion) and H⁺ (hydrogen ion). - Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a strong base that completely dissociates in solution to form Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions. 2. **Reaction Between Acetic Acid and Sodium Hydroxide**: - When NaOH is added to a solution of acetic acid, the OH⁻ ions from NaOH will react with the H⁺ ions from acetic acid to form water (H₂O). - The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} + \text{OH}^- \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{COO}^- + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] 3. **Effect of Adding NaOH**: - The reaction consumes H⁺ ions, which decreases the concentration of H⁺ in the solution. - According to Le Chatelier's principle, if the concentration of H⁺ ions decreases, the equilibrium of the dissociation of acetic acid will shift to the right to produce more H⁺ ions. 4. **Increased Ionization of Acetic Acid**: - As the equilibrium shifts to the right, more acetic acid dissociates into CH₃COO⁻ and H⁺, leading to an increase in the ionization of acetic acid. 5. **Naming the Effect**: - This phenomenon, where the addition of a strong base leads to increased dissociation of a weak acid due to the removal of H⁺ ions, is known as the **reverse ion effect**. 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, when a strong base like NaOH is added to a weak acid like acetic acid, the dissociation of acetic acid increases due to the neutralization of H⁺ ions, and this effect is termed the **reverse ion effect**. ### Final Answer: The effect is known as the **reverse ion effect**.
