An Acid-Base Equilibrium System Is Created by Dissolving 0

Question 18

Multiple Choice

An acid-base equilibrium system is created by dissolving 0.50 mol CH3CO2H in water to a volume of 1.0 L.What is the effect of adding 0.50 mol CH3CO2-(aq) to this solution?
1) The pH of the solution will equal 7.00 because equal concentrations of a weak acid and its conjugate base are present.
2) Some CH3CO2H(aq) will ionize,increasing the concentration of CH3CO2-(aq) and increasing the pH.
3) Some CH3CO2-(aq) will react with H3O+,increasing the concentration of CH3CO2H(aq) and reestablishing the solution equilibrium.


A) 1 only
B) 2 only
C) 3 only
D) 1 and 3
