What happens to the solution if sodium acetate is added to a solution of acetic acid?

The pH of the solution increases.

Explanation:

Acetic acid is a weak acid, this means it does not dissociate completely in aqueous solution.

Sodium acetate on the other hand is a salt which dissociates to give acetate ions ad sodium ion.

Also, sodium acetate is the conjugate base of acetic acid. A mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base is a buffer solution.

The mixture leads to a greater concentration of acetate ion, CH3COO-. shere is an increase in the pH of the solution.

So, when you are adding sodium acetate to a solution of acetic acid, concentration of acetate anions increases. Thus, there will be a decrease of hydronium ions resulting in pH increase.

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
