Look. here in general about carboxylic acids.

In the short version:

  1. The carbonyl-O, i.e. the one with the double bond to the C, already strongly draws electrons from the C, which in turn removes electrons from the OH group and makes the OH bond even more polar. The H(+) is thereby more isolated.
  2. The COO(-) formed during the proton cleavage Group has mesomere boundary structures, i.e. is stabilized by mesomerie. Is accordingly a stable, a preferred state.
