When a buffer solution of sodium acetate and acetic acid is diluted with water

A

Acetate ion concentration increases

B

`H^(+)` ion concentration increases

C

`OH^(-)` ion concentration increases

D

`H^(+)` ion concentration remain unaltered

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Buffer solution have constant pH. When we add the water into this buffer solution. So no effect on it.
