Oxalic acid (C2H2O4) is a dicarboxylic acid as it contains two carboxylic acid groups.

Carboxylic acids have high boiling points due to hydrogen bonding.

Alcohols are not derivatives of carboxylic acids; they are separate functional groups.

The compound CH3COOH is known as Ethanoic acid, which is the IUPAC name for acetic acid.

Carboxylic acids contain the -COOH functional group.

Formic acid (HCOOH) is stronger than acetic acid (CH3COOH) due to the presence of a hydrogen atom directly attached to the carbonyl carbon, which stabilizes the conjugate base.

Carboxylic acids can be prepared by the hydrolysis of esters.

Carboxylic acids can form hydrogen bonds due to the presence of the -COOH group, which contributes to their higher boiling points compared to hydrocarbons.

Carboxylic acids have higher boiling points than alcohols due to the ability to form dimers through hydrogen bonding.

All of the listed reagents can convert carboxylic acids to acid chlorides.

Lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) is a strong reducing agent that can reduce carboxylic acids to primary alcohols.

Lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) is used to reduce carboxylic acids to alcohols.

Lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) is used to reduce carboxylic acids to alcohols.
