First find amount of NaOH, and from there you know the amount of OH- ions.

OH- and H+ react in a 1-to-1 ratio to form water, so amount of H+ ions = amount of OH- ions.

They gave [CH3COOH], so from there we can find the amount of CH3COOH, and the amount of H+ ions contributed by it in the reaction.

The remaining H+ ions must come from (COOH)2.

Remember that 1 (COOH)2 = 2H+, therefore amount of (COOH)2 needs to be halved.

Lastly, find [(COOH)2].

Feels like doing a problem sum isn't it?
