CH_3COOAg (aq) rightleftharpoons Ag^+ (aq) + CH_3COO^(-)(aq)

Explanation:

Aqueous silver acetate, which can be written as CH_3COOAg (aq) or AgC_2H_3O_2 (aq), is a weak electrolyte and a highly soluble compound, and it dissociates into Ag^+ and CH_3COO^-; the equation for its dissociation in water is thus

CH_3COOAg (aq) rightleftharpoons Ag^+ (aq) + CH_3COO^(-)(aq)

The right and left arrows symbolize the solution is saturated and the reaction is in a state of equilibrium.
