Adding sodium acetate to acetic acid solution lowers the acid's ionisation. This is the
Abuffer capacity limit
Bsalt hydrolysis effect
Ccommon ion effect
Dlevelling effect
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. common ion effect
The added acetate ion is common to the acid's equilibrium, shifting it back and suppressing ionisation.
