Question

Why are carboxylic acid is a weak acid?

Answer 1

Carboxylic acids are typically weak acids, meaning that they only partially dissociate into H+ cations and RCOO ...anions in neutral aqueous solution. For example, at room temperature, in a 1-molar solution of acetic acid, only 0.4% of the acid molecules are dissociated.

Answer 2

Carboxylic acid are weak acids because they are made from carbon atoms ,due to which carbon atoms create covalent bonds and covalent bonds are weak than ionic bond thus carboxylic acid are weak acid
