Increasing which of the following will decrease the pH of a buffer made using acetic acid and sodium acetate? A) the amount of water present B) the [C2H3O2^-] C) the [HC₂H₃O₂] D) the ratio [C2H3O2^-]/[HC2H3O2]

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing the concentration of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) will increase the concentration of hydrogen ions, thus decreasing the pH of the buffer solution.
