Question

What is meant by Aliphatic carboxylic acid and Aromatic carboxylic acid?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Aliphatic carboxylic acids include a very wide range of chemicals that perform a diverse range of industrial functions. ... Esters and salts of organic acids are also produced in large volume.

Aromatic acids include compounds that contain a COOH group bonded to an aromatic ring. The simplest aromatic acid is benzoic acid. Salicylicacid is both a carboxylic acid and a phenol, so it can be esterified in two ways, with both giving rise to familiar products.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Aliphatic compounds are also known as non-aromatic compounds. Aliphatic compound can be cyclic or not, but only aromatic compounds contain a stable ring of atoms, such as benzene. ... Saturated compounds are made up of single bond only while unsaturated compounds are with double bonds (alkenes) or triple bonds (alkynes).
