Answer: The equilibrium will shifts to the left.
Explanation:
Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.
This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.
[tex]CH_3COOH\rightleftharpoons CH_3COO^-+H^+[/tex]
Thus if [tex]CH_3COONa[/tex] is added it will dissociate to give [tex]CH_3COO^-[/tex] and [tex]Na^+[/tex]
[tex]CH_3COONa\rightarrow CH_3COO^-+Na^+[/tex]
Thus as the concentration of [tex]CH_3COO^-[/tex] increases, the equilibrium will shift in a direction where concentration of [tex]CH_3COO_-[/tex] decrease i.e. the dissociation of [tex]CH_3COOH[/tex] will be further depressed i.e the equilibrium will shift to the left.
