How can I solve for the concentrations of CH3COOH, CH3COOH^-, H3O+ if the equation is CH3COOH + H2O is in equilibrium with CH3COOH^-, H3O+? There is no Ka and pH given as this is missing as well. Only after the concentrations of the three was found then the pH and Ka will be found. The only thing given is the initial concentration of CH3COOH which 1.00 M and the fraction of CH3COOH ionized which is 0.01221. I'm really confused as all in the internet examples have pH given or Ka.
