AIPMTAIPMT 1991Equilibrium

Solution:

The aqueous solution of acetic acid ionise as follows:
$H _{2} O + \underset{\text{Base}}{CH _{3} COOH} \rightleftharpoons \underset{\text{Acid}}{CH _{3} COO ^{-}}+ H _{3} O ^{+}$
So, the aqueous solution of acetic acid contains $CH _{3} COO ^{-}, H _{3} O ^{+}$and $CH _{3} COOH$.
