Define the term common ion effect.

1.	Define the term common ion effect.
Answer» Common ion effect : The suppression of the degree of dissociation of a weak electrolyte by the addition of a strong electrolyte having an ion in common with the weak electrolyte is called common ion effect. For example, CH₃COOH and CH₃COONa have common ion CH₃COO^-
