Which equation represents the reaction of acetic (ethanoic) acid with water?

Vocaloid:

choices: CH3COO- + H2O --> CH3COOH + OH- CH3COOH + H2O --> CH3COO- + H3O+ CH3COO- + H2O --> CH3COO2- + H3O+ CH3COOH + H2O --> CH3COOH2+ + OH- acetic acid is CH3COOH, water is H2O the reaction will be an acid-base reaction, with acetic acid acting as the acid, and water as the base. acetic acid will therefore donate a proton H+ to water. with this in mind, which equation do you think accurately represents the reaction?
