Does NaCl change pH? Does NaCl effect pH? Does NaCl salt change...

Dareen Temgoua  Follow

The common ion effect of Na+ (introduced by NaCl) changes the equilibrium between monobasic and dibasic Na phosphate, causing a pH change.

Hussam Alsaoud ― still concerning to your post above:
Worked example II ― On the pH of solutions containing a strong base (e.g. NaOH), besides, possibly, neutral salt(s) ― it is similar to worked example I (above):
― Determine the excess volume (Vexcess) of some unnamed strong base (MOH) aq. sol., of nominal molar concentration (formality to be precise), cMOH, that should be added to pure neutral salt(s) aq. sol.; so that the excess acid leads the former neutral pH of that solution to some (given) basic pH.
― Note that the said acidic solution would become diluted by the dilution factor f = Vexcess /Vfinal (*), where Vfinal stands for the final volume. Note also that the neutral salt ― obtained from the titration of a strong base with a strong acid ― is not expected to significantly contribute for final pH. The pOH of the final basic solution would be: pOH = 14 - pH; pOH = -log10(f·cMOH/(1 M)). Hence: Vexcess = Vfinal·f = Vfinal·10- pOH/{cMOH/(1 M)}.
(*) Translates the base molar conservation.

I have a question, please.
is the adding of NaCl at a specific concentration in buffer(more or less than the standard) effect on the properties like solubility, temperature or any kind of that??

Yes, if chemical activity changes, it will make change in pH value.

In chemistry it is common to just use concentrations, but really we should use activities. Activity is effected by ionic strength and adding sodium chloride increases the ionic strength. This will lead to a pH change.
