Acetic acid dissociates as
`CH_(3) "COOH" hArr CH_(3) "COO"^(-) + H^(+)` . If a little amount of sodium acetate is added to its aqueous solution

A

The acid dissociates further

B

The `H^(+)` ion concentration increases

C

The acid dissocitaion is suppressed

D

The equilibrium is unaffected

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`CH_(3)COONa` increases `[CH_(3)COO^(-)]`
`:.` backward reaction favoured
