Even if adobo has many varieties, one main component unites this popular Filipino dish: acidity. This flavour is usually due to vinegar that contains acetic acid. Acetic acid is a weak acid, with a so that only a small amount dissociates in water in an equilibrium reaction:
$\mathrm{CH_3COOH+H_2O \rightleftharpoons CH_3COO^-+H_3O^+}$
Identify all the bases in this reaction.
Editorial correction: read the repeated option formula CH₃OO⁻ as CH₃COO⁻, consistent with the printed reaction; the original choices remain visible. The source contains the incomplete phrase “with a so”.
