The structure shown below is has a very high pKa because the conjugate base is very unstable. Using the provided resonance structures, draw the curved electron-pushing arrows to show the deprotonation step. Then, draw the curved electron-pushing arrows to show the interconversion between resonance hybrid contributors. Be sure to account for all bond-breaking and bond-making steps.
