That's got to be the most horrendous way of writing a chemical formula that I have ever seen.

CH3COOH is an acid. Specifically, it's acetic acid.

Water is neither an acid or a base.


What is the name for conjugate base H2O?

The conjugate base for H2O is the hydroxide ion, OH-. When the hydroxide ion reacts with another water molecule, a hydrogen ion may be transferred, resulting in a water molecule and a hydroxide ion. Therefore, the conjugate base of water is OH-


What is produced when an acid and a base are mixed?

When an acid and a base are mixed it will give rise to a salt and water. For example HCl reacts with NaOH to give NaCl and H2O. The basic formula for the reaction of an acid and base is: HA + BOH ----> AB + H2O [acid] [base] [salt] [water]


Is H2O and acid or base?

Ultrapure fresh water is neutral.


What is the acid and what is the base in the reaction HBr H2O - Br- H2O?

What is the General equation for acid reacting with a base?

acid + base → salt + water


A reaction between an acid and a base is?

It is called an acid-base reaction. The product is called a salt. For example: NaOH + HCl -> NaCl + H2O NaOH is the base. HCl is the acid. NaCl is the salt. H2O is water.


What type of ion is found in solution when an acid is formed?

That depends on the reaction. If you just want the general reaction you can consider the dissociation of water: H2O ------> H+ (acid) and OH- (base) or H2O + H2O --------> H3O+ (acid) and OH- (base)


Is H2O amphiprotic?

it means that water can act as a base or an acid.


What is the basic chemical equation for neutralization?

H+ + OH- ----> H2O is the basic reaction for neutralization. But this would not be balanced if a diprotic or triprotic acid were used. There is strictly speaking not enough information to answer the question.


An acid and base combined the products formed are salt and?

When acid and base combine, they give a salt and water. NaOH + HCl -------> NaCl + H2O.
