Question

Consider the acidity of the carboxylic acids

Answer 1

carboxylic acid are fairly strong acids because carboxylate ion is stabilised more by resonance than the acids

electron withdrawing group lyk (X,NO2, CN) increases acid strength (by - I effect )
electron relasing group lyk alkyl group decreases acidic strength

Answer 2

Explanation:

$<p style ="Color:red; font-family: cursive; background:black;font size25px;"> A carboxylic acid is an organic compound that contains a carboxyl group (C(=O)OH) attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R–COOH, with R referring to the alkyl group. Carboxylic acids occur widely. Important examples include the amino acids and fatty acids.$
