Answer:

The H in the carboxyl group.

Explanation:

Acetic acid can be written as CH₃COOH, where -COOH is the functional group carboxyl, responsible for the acidity of organic acids. The H in the carboxyl group is the one that is donated in the acid reaction.

CH₃COOH(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ CH₃COO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺

Acetic acid is a weak acid, so just a small fraction of the molecules undergo this reaction to donate their hydrogen.
