Answer:
- Acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and hydronium ion (H₃O⁺)
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, based on the acid-base theory which states that acids are known as H⁺ donors, if we consider the direct reaction:
It is clear that the acetic acid is the first H⁺ donor as it losses one H⁺ to turn into the acetate ion. Moreover, if we consider the inverse reaction:
It is also clear that the hydronium ion is the second H⁺ donor as it losses one H⁺ to turn into water.
Best regards.
