    When \[NaOH\] is added to a solution of\[C{{H}_{3}}COONa\], then

    A)  the cone. of both \[O{{H}^{-}}\] and \[C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}\]increases

    B)  the cone. of \[C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}\] decreases

    C)  the cone. of \[C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}\] increases

    D)  dissociation of \[C{{H}_{3}}COONa\] increases

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Key Idea The decrease in the ionisation of a weak electrolyte by the presence of a common-ion from a strong electrolyte is called the common-ion effect. When NaOH is added to a solution of\[C{{H}_{3}}COONa\], then the ionisation of \[C{{H}_{3}}COONa\] is decreased due to the presence of common ion. (\[N{{a}^{+}}\] being the common ion). \[C{{H}_{3}}COONaC{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}+N{{a}^{+}}\] ...                 \[NaOHO{{H}^{-}}+\,\,\,\,\underset{common-ion}{\mathop{N{{a}^{+}}}}\,\] In the presence of \[N{{a}^{+}}\] equilibrium  shifts in backward direction. Therefore, the cone. of\[C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}\] decreases.
