Answer #1

Acetic acid when ionized would lose an electron (according to Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory, acids are proton donors) and water would act as a base and gain a proton.

In ionization reactions, a polar species becomes charged when in presence of a polar solvent.

The ionization reaction for acetic acid would be as follows:

CH3COOH + H,0 + CH3C00- + H30+
