Interpretation:
The effect on concentration of hydrogen ions is to be discussed when a few drops of
Concept introduction:
Le Chatelier’s principle states that whenever there is a change in temperature, pressure or concentration of a reaction, equilibrium shifts in a direction to nullify the effect.
Answer to Problem 38SSC
Hydrogen ion concentration will decrease.
Explanation of Solution
Acetic acid dissociates as:
When
Thus on adding
Due to neutralization reaction, hydrogen ion concentration will decrease.
