The  following  equilibrium  exists  in  aqueous  solution, CH3COOH   CH3COO – + H + if dil. HCl is added, without change in temperature, the

A.Concentration of CH3COO
B.Concentration of CH3COO✓ Correct
C.The equilibrium constant will increase
D.The equilibrium constant will decrease
Explanation

3 CH COOH   is  a  weak  acid,  in  the  presence  of  HCl (strong acid) its dissociation is suppressed (common ion effect).  This  causes 3 CH COO  ions  to  associate  with H  thus  decreasing  the  acetate  ion’s  concentration in solution according to Le Chatelier’s principle.
