Yeah i know that, just didnt take any notice for this question
I dont need to know what Ka for ethanoic acid is though?
A GCSE student would not know about Kc, but would know that EtOOH is a weak acid and therefore only partially ionises, i.e. [H+] =/= [EtOOH], (like wot i sed b4).

This is for something else but when you write ionic equations. E.g. barium hydroxide and sodium carbonate - why isnt the product separated into its ions.

Ba2+ + 2OH- +2Na+ + CO32- ------> BaCO3 + 2NaOH
BaCO3 is really rather insoluble, whereas NaOH is very soluble. You'd therefore show BaCO3 as a product, but Na+ and OH- remain in solution.
The ionic equation is: Ba2+(aq) + CO32-(aq) -> BaCO3(s)
