A.                 \[K=\frac{[{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}][{{H}_{2}}O]}{[C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}][C{{H}_{3}}COOH]}\]
B.                 \[K=\frac{[{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}][C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}]}{[{{H}_{2}}O][C{{H}_{3}}COOH]}\]
C.                 \[K=\frac{[{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}][{{H}_{2}}O]}{[C{{H}_{3}}COOH][C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}]}\]
D.                 \[K=\frac{[{{H}_{2}}O][C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}]}{[{{H}_{2}}O][C{{H}_{3}}COOH]}\]
Answer» C.                 \[K=\frac{[{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}][{{H}_{2}}O]}{[C{{H}_{3}}COOH][C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}]}\]
