Question
Choose the correct statement:
Options
A.pH of acidic buffer solution decreases if more salt is added
B.pH of acidic solution increases if more salt is added.
C.pH of basic buffer decreases if more salt is added.
D.pH of basic buffer increases if more salt is added.
Solution
Acidic buffer: pH = pKa + log 
If more salt ius added, pH increases.
Basic buffer: pOH = pKb + log
If more salt is added, pOH increases or pH decreases.
If more salt ius added, pH increases. Basic buffer: pOH = pKb + log
If more salt is added, pOH increases or pH decreases.Create a free account to view solution
