    A buffer solution contains \[0.1\] mole of sodium acetate dissolved in \[1000c{{m}^{3}}\]of \[0.1M\]acetic acid. To the above buffer solution, \[0.1mole\]of sodium acetate is further added and dissolved. The pH of the resulting buffer is

    A)  \[p{{k}_{a}}\]

    B)  \[p{{k}_{a}}+2\]

    C)  \[p{{k}_{a}}-\log 2\]     

    D)  \[p{{k}_{a}}+\log 2\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[pH=p{{K}_{a}}+\log \frac{[salt]}{[acid]}\] When extra 0.1 mole sodium acetate is added \[\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ Salt }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }=0.2mol\,d{{m}^{-3}}\] \[[acid]=0.1\text{ }mol\,d{{m}^{-3}}\]
