    Addition of sodium acetate to 0.1 M acetic acid will cause

    A)  increase in pH

    B)  decrease in pH

    C)  no change in pH

    D)  change in pH that cannot be predicted

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Addition of sodium acetate in acetic acid solution, due to common ion\[\text{NH}_{\text{4}}^{\text{+}}\text{,}\] The supressed, ionisation of acetic acid so concentration of \[\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ }{{\text{H}}^{+}}\text{ }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\] decreases. Hence, pH of solution increases.
