What is the equilibrium expression for the following acid dissociation reaction?

CH3COOH + H2O --><-- CH3COO- + H3O+

A. [CH3COO-][H3O+]/[CH3COOH][H3O]
B. [CH3COOH][H2O]/[CH3COO-][H3O+]
C. [CH3COOH]/[CH3COO-][H3O-]
D. [CH3COO-][H3O+]/[CH3COOH]

How do you do this problem. Can somebody help me out please?

In equilibrium expressions it's the right hand side divided by the left hand side with each concentration raised to a power indicated by the coefficient in the balanced equation. Did you make a typo in A? Did you intend to write
[CH3COO-][H3O+]/[CH3COOH][H2O]
The answer is D
DrBob sucks tbh
