The following equilibrium exists in aqueous solution, CH3COOHCH_{3}COOHCH3COO+H+CH_{3}COO^{-} + H^{+} if dil HCl is added, without change in temperature, the.

A

Concentration of CH3COOCH_{3}COO^{-} will increase

B

Concentration of CH3COOCH_{3}COO^{-} will decrease

C

The equilibrium constant will increase

D

The equilibrium constant will decrease

Answer

Concentration of CH3COOCH_{3}COO^{-} will decrease

Explanation

Solution

Due to common ion effect of H+H^{+}.
