Solution

Three of the compounds listed are acids. These are:

  1. CH3COOH, also known as acetic acid.
  2. HNO3, also known as nitric acid.
  3. H2SO4, also known as sulfuric acid.

NaOH (sodium hydroxide) and KOH (potassium hydroxide) are bases, not acids. (COOH)2 is also known as oxalic acid, but it's not clear from your question whether you're counting this as one of the "following" or not. If you are, then there are four acids in your list.
