here is Ur answer...
Carboxylic acids haveeven higher boiling points then alkanes andalcohols. Carboxylic acids, similar to alcohols, can form hydrogen bonds with each other as well as van der Waals dispersion forces and dipole-dipole interactions. It is due to stronger H-bonding and polar nature of acids than alcohol.
