See below.
Explanation:
An acid buffer is a solution that contains roughly the same concentrations of a weak acid and its conjugate base.
Thus, an acetate buffer contains roughly equal concentrations of acetic acid and acetate ion.
They are in a chemical equilibrium with each other.
The equation is:
