I've looked it up and google'd it and everything, but can anybody tell me what CH3CO2(–) is?

Thank you!

You're kidding, right? Just google CH3CO2. The answer is in the first 3 hits.

It's simple, it is the acetate anion, [CH3COO]−, is a carboxylate. It is the conjugate base of acetic acid.

CH3COOH ⇌ CH3COO− + H+
