Homework Statement
In the compound Glycolic Acid, with the structure below:
Which hydrogen will get removed in an acid-base reaction first?
The Attempt at a Solution
I figure that it would be the carboxylic hydrogen, rather than the alcohol hydrogen, but I can't be completely certain, and I don't like not being completely certain.
So... am I right?
