On the Lewis diagram in part A, circle the atom that accepts the proton when the glycolate ion reacts with water.

When the glycolate ion reacts with water, it forms glycolic acid, $\mathrm{HC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{3}$ , according to the following equation. The $K_{b}$ expression for the reaction is provided.

\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{3}^{-}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) \rightleftarrows \mathrm{HC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{3}(a q)+\mathrm{OH}^{-}(a q) \quad K_{b}=\frac{\left[\mathrm{HC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{3}\right]\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{3}^{-}\right]}
