What are the other species present in aqueous solution CH3COONa?

[Stevecgz]

What species are present in aqueous solution CH3COONa (other than H20)?

My thoughts:
CH3COO- and Na+ are present from the reaction.
CH3COONa is present because the reaction does not go to completion.
H30+ and OH- are present from the autoionization of water.
CH3COOH is present from a reaction between CH3COO- and H3O+.

Do I have the right idea here or am I missing something? Thanks.

Yeah, I think you got them all.

And NaHO from the reaction between Na⁺ and HO^- ?

NaOH is a strong base, so it will not form; he already covered the Na⁺ and OH^- ions.

Ok, sorry, you are obviously right.
