Ka for acetic acid (CH₃COOH) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵

Let y% be the percent dissociation of acetic acid.

           CH₃COOH(aq) + H₂O(ℓ)  ⇌ CH₃COO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)   Ka = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵
Initial:         0.35 M                               0 M                 0 M
Change:  -0.35y% M                      +0.35y% M       +0.35y% M
Eqm:   0.35(1 - y%)  M                    0.35y% M         0.35y% M
               ≈ 0.35 M                          = 0.0035y M     = 0.0035y M

At equilibrium:
Ka = [CH₃COO⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [CH₃COOH]
1.8 × 10⁻⁵ = (0.0035y)² / 0.35
1.8 × 10⁻⁵ = 0.0035²y² / 0.35
y = √[0.35 × (1.8 × 10⁻⁵) / 0.0035²]
y = 0.72
Percent dissociation of acetic acid = 0.72%

Sorry, my answer is "Anonymous" as your post is Anonymous. There is no need for an Anonymous question in this category, Most 'Anonymous' posts are trolls, maybe yours is not, but the high likelihood is there. If you post as yourself, I would be glad to help you with any problem you have.
I spend a lot of time on each problem, I just want to make sure it's for a worthwhile cause.

Use the Ka equation to solve for [H+] . The Ka is small enough to avoid the use of the quadratic route
 Ka = [H+]² / 0.35
 [H+]² = (1.8*10^-5) * 0.35
[H+]² = 6.30*10^-6
[H+] = 2.51*10^-3M
% dissociation = (2.51*10^-3) / 0.35 * 100% = 0.72%
