Hello!
A) At pH=1
This pH is lower than the value for the pKa, so Acetic acid wouldn't be ionized, but the equilibrium would be displaced to CH₃COOH
CH₃COOH ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H₃O⁺ (equilibrium displaced to the left)
The chemical structure for CH₃COOH is the first one in the attached images.
B) At pH=7
This pH is higher than the value for the pKa, so Acetic acid would be ionized, and the equilibrium would be displaced to CH₃COO⁻
CH₃COOH ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H₃O⁺ (equilibrium displaced to the right)
The chemical structure for CH₃COO⁻ is the second one in the attached images.
Have a nice day!
