Pyruvic acid is converted into lactate when there is inadequate oxygen, a process known as anaerobic respiration or fermentation. This allows for the regeneration of NAD+ to keep glycolysis running, even without sufficient oxygen for oxidative phosphorylation in the electron transport chain.
Only carboxylic acids contain carboxyl groups. Only organic acids have them--obviously, since an organic acid contains carbon and so does a carboxyl group. So...most acids don't contain carboxyl groups.
The fact that it does not use oxygen is precisely why it is anaerobic. Anaerobic means without oxygen. If it did use oxygen, it'll be called aerobic.
O2 denotes oxygen. It is element. It is not an acid.
No, oxygen cannot neutralize an acid. Neutralization of an acid occurs when an acid reacts with a base to form water and a salt. Oxygen is not involved in this chemical reaction.

lactic acid into a neutral lactate
When muscles work without enough oxygen, they produce a byproduct called lactic acid.
Answer: Lactic acid gets into our muscle through lactic acid fermantation. Fermantation is getting a cell energy without using oxygen.
Lactic acid is associated with muscles experiencing lack of oxygen, which can occur during intense exercise or when the muscles are not receiving enough oxygen to produce energy aerobically. This buildup of lactic acid can contribute to muscle fatigue and soreness.
If oxygen is present it is converted to Acetyl-CoA and enters citric acid cycle If oxygen is not present is will become lactic acid and /or ethanol

The breakdown of food without the use of oxygen is called anaerobic respiration. This process produces energy in the form of ATP without requiring oxygen. However, it generates lactic acid or ethanol as byproducts, depending on the organism carrying out the process.

Lactic acid builds up and that's why it starts to burn.
