What is Understanding Carboxylic Acids about?
Carboxylic acids contain a carboxyl group, which consists of a carbonyl group bonded to a hydroxyl group on the same carbon. This chapter discusses the properties, structure, and spectroscopy of carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids are more acidic than alcohols due to the carboxylate ion being more stable than an alkoxide ion as the negative charge is delocalized over two oxygen atoms. They have higher boiling points than similar molecules due to hydrogen bonding between acid dimers. Infrared spectroscopy sho
