Q. Which of the following will supress the ionisation of acetic acid in aqueous solution ?

Equilibrium

Solution:

Common ion effect is observed when a solution of weak electrolyte is mixed with a solution of a strong electrolyte, which provides an ion common to that provided by the weak electrolyte. Acetic acid is a weak electrolyte. $HCl$ is a strong electrolyte. $HCl$ provides hydrogen ion which is common to that provided by acetic acid.
