Ethanoic acid ionizes in aqueous solutions to form two ions which are $CH_3COO^-$ and $H^+$

<h3>Ionization of ethanoic acid</h3>

Ethanoic acid goes by the chemical formula $CH_3COOH$ .

In aqueous solutions, it ionizes as a monoprotic acid according to the following equation:

$CH_3COOH ---- > CH_3COO^- + H^+$

A monoprotic acid is an acid that is able to donate only a proton. Hence, ethanoic acid is said to be monoprotic because it ionizes in aqueous solutions to produce a single $H^+$
