Question
Consider an acetate buffer, initially at the same pH as its pka (4.76). When sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is mixed with this buffer, the
O pH rises more than if the same amount of NaOH is added to an acetate buffer initially at pH 6.76.
pH remains constant.
ratio of acetic acid to acetate ion in the buffer decreases.
sodium acetate formed precipitates because it is less soluble than acetic acid.
pH rises more than if the same amount of NaOH is added to unbuffered water at pH 4.76.
