Only the structure of the product of step 4 is needed. Everything else is irrelevant. Thank you.

### Chemical Reaction and Homework Instructions

**Chemical Reaction:**
\[ \text{HC} \equiv \text{C-H} + \text{CH}_3\text{CO}_2\text{H} \xrightarrow{\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4, \text{HgSO}_4} \text{H}_3\text{C} \text{C} (= \text{O}) \text{O} \text{- CH} = \text{CH}_2 \]

- **Reactants:** Acetylene (HC≡CH) and Acetic Acid (CH₃CO₂H)
- **Catalysts:** H₂SO₄ and HgSO₄
- **Product:** Vinyl Acetate (H₃C-C(=O)-O-CH=CH₂)

**Description:**
Acetylene reacts with acetic acid in the presence of sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) and mercuric sulfate (HgSO₄) to form vinyl acetate.

**Homework Instructions:**

- Draw the mechanism on a separate sheet of paper, and then draw the structure of the product(s) of step 4. 
- **Attention:** Draw only step 4, **not the mechanism**. 
- The requester emphasizes the need for the answer, not the explanation.
- If unsure about the correctness, just indicate it.

**Guidelines:**
- Draw organic species only.
- Do not include counter-ions, e.g., Na⁺, I⁻, in your answer.

### Diagram Explanation

**Diagram:**
A visual diagram appears to show a molecular structure.

**Notations:**
1. The diagram includes typical chemical structure drawing tools for creating the molecular structure.
2. The red handwritten text and arrows point to the drawn structure, with notes:
   - "not sure if correct, if it is, then just say so"

##### Example Contribution:
- A drawn molecular structure depicts a molecule similar to one formed as an intermediate or final product in the given reaction.

This transcription and diagram help elucidate the chemical reaction and expected learning outcome stated in the homework instructions.
