Need help with d)

a) Draw a Lewis structure of the acid and mark the acidic hydrogen(s) with an asterisk
(*). (Hint: Organic acids, those composed of C, H, and O, will have the partial structure
"HO2C-" or "-CO2H" written in the formula. In these cases, both oxygens are bonded to the
carbon and the hydrogen is bonded to one of the oxygen atoms)
