As the number of carbon atoms increases, the acidity generally decreases due to the increasing electron-donating effect of alkyl groups.

As the number of carbon atoms increases, the solubility of carboxylic acids in water generally decreases due to the increasing hydrophobic character.

Carboxylic acids contain the carboxyl group (-COOH), which is the defining feature of this class of compounds.

The general formula for carboxylic acids is C_nH_2nO_2.

CH3COOH is known as Ethanoic acid in IUPAC nomenclature.

The main product of the reduction of a carboxylic acid is an alcohol.

Thionyl chloride (SOCl2) converts benzoic acid to benzoyl chloride, which is an acyl chloride.

The reaction of butanoic acid with thionyl chloride produces butanoyl chloride.

The reaction of propanoic acid with thionyl chloride produces propionyl chloride.

The pKa value of acetic acid is approximately 4.76.

The reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst produces an ester.

Lithium aluminum hydride reduces carboxylic acids to primary alcohols.

The primary product of the reaction between a carboxylic acid and thionyl chloride is an acid chloride.

Decarboxylation of sodium acetate produces methane.

The reaction between acetic acid and ethanol produces ethyl acetate.

The reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol produces an ester.

The reaction produces sodium acetate, carbon dioxide, and water, making 'All of the above' the correct answer.

Formic acid (HCOOH) is stronger than acetic acid (CH3COOH).

Formic acid (HCOOH) is stronger than acetic acid and other listed acids.

Oxalic acid is a dicarboxylic acid as it contains two carboxyl groups (-COOH).

Stearic acid is a long-chain fatty acid and is solid at room temperature.

Decarboxylation of a carboxylic acid typically yields an alkane.

Decarboxylation of sodium acetate yields methane.

Ester is formed by the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol in an esterification reaction.

All of the listed compounds can be formed by the esterification of acetic acid with the respective alcohols.

Esters are derivatives of carboxylic acids formed by the reaction of an acid and an alcohol.

Carboxylic acids have high boiling points due to hydrogen bonding.

Carboxylic acids can undergo esterification, amide formation, and decarboxylation, making 'All of the above' correct.

Ester is a derivative of carboxylic acid formed by the reaction of an acid with an alcohol.

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