Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When acetic acid (CH₃COOH) reacts with ammonia (NH₃), the acid-base reaction takes place resulting in the formation of ammonium ion (NH₄⁺) and acetate ion (CH₃COO⁻). Therefore, the correct set of major species present in the solution is acetate ion and ammonium ion which is option D.
