    [H⁺] = 0 M

    [CH₃COOH] = 0 M

    [OH⁻] = 4.55x10⁻²M

    [Na⁺] = 9.55x10⁻²M

    [CH₃COO⁻] = 5.00x10⁻²M

    Explanation:

    CH₃COOH is a weak acid, and when in aqueous solution, it is in equilibrium with its conjugate base CH₃COO⁻:

    CH₃COOH ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺

    When NaOH is at solution, it dissolves as the ions Na⁺ and OH⁻. The number of moles of each compound is:

    nCH₃COOH = 0.5 L * 0.100 mol/L = 0.05 mol

    nNaOH = 0.5 L * 0.191 mol/L = 0.0955 mol

    Thus, all the CH₃COOH reacts, forming NaCH₃COO, and H₂O. The stoichiometry is 1:1, and the remaining NaOH will be:

    nNaOH = 0.0955 - 0.05 = 0.0455 mol

    nNa⁺ = 0.0455 mol

    nOH⁻ = 0.0455 mol

    And nNaCH₃COO = 0.05 mol, nNa⁺ = 0.05 mol, and nCH₃COO⁻ = 0.05 mol. Because all the H⁺ forms water, there'll be no H⁺ left to form CH₃COOH, thus, the final volume of the solution is 1 L, and the concentration is the number of moles divided by the volume:

    [H⁺] = 0 M

    [CH₃COOH] = 0 M

    [OH⁻] = 0.0455/1 = 4.55x10⁻²M

    [Na⁺] = (0.0455 + 0.05) / 1 = 9.55x10⁻²M

    [CH₃COO⁻] = 0.05/1 = 5.00x10⁻²M
