what is formed when CH3COOH reacts with NH3. I need an equation:)

CH3COOH + NH3 ==> CH3COO^- + NH4^+

Otherwise known as NH4C2H3O2 or ammonium acetate.

thanks

When acetic acid (CH3COOH) reacts with ammonia (NH3), the result is the formation of a salt called ammonium acetate (NH4C2H3O2) and water (H2O). The balanced equation for this reaction is as follows:

CH3COOH + NH3 → NH4C2H3O2 + H2O
