What are chains of carbon and hydrogen with a carboxyl at one end?
Such compounds are Fatty acids (long chain monocarboxylic acids)
Are carboxyl acids fatty acids?
"Fatty Acids" take on two 'forms' - 'fats' are from animal sources and are solid at room temperature whereas 'oils' are from plant sources and are liquid at room temperature.
Is a fatty acid inorganic?
NO!!!! 'Fatty Acid' is the archaic name for carboxylic acids. e.g. Formic Acid now Methanoic acid, and Acetic Acid now Ethanoic acid.
Is a sodium fatty acid salt the same as a carboxylic acid salt?
A fatty acid salt is a kind of carboxylic acid salt. But not all carboxylic acid salts are fatty acid salts.
When compared to sulfric acid how strong are carboxylic acids?
Carboxylic acids are weaker

Are glycine and carboxylic acid th same?
No, glycine is one of many different carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids come in a wide variety ranging from formic acid to amino acids (which include glycine) and fatty acids.
Is Carboxylic acid does this contain fat?
No, carboxylic acids are simply a class of organic acids. Some carboxylic acids are fatty acids but are not fats nor do they contain them. Amino acids, the building blocks of protein are also carboxylic acids. One of the most common carboxylic acids is acetic acid, commonly sold as vinegar.

What two molecules combine to form lipids?
glycerol and carboxylic acid combines to form a lipids.

A fatty acid salt is a kind of carboxylic acid salt. But not all carboxylic acid salts are fatty acid salts.
Define fatty acid?
In chemistry, especially biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have a chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28. Fatty acids are usually derived from triglycerides orphospholipids. When they are not attached to other molecules, they are known as "free" fatty acids.
What is volatile fatty acid number?
No one fatty acid is volatile.
Do molecules join to form fats in fatty acids?
Fatty acids are molecules composed of a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic acid group ( - COOH) at one end. The smallest molecule that could be called a fatty acid is acetic acid (CH3COOH which is the acid in vinegar) in which the hydrocarbon chain is only on carbon long (a methyl group - CH3). Fats are molecules composed of one to three (usually three) fatty acids bound by their carboxylic acid group to a glycerine molecule (see image above).
When compared to sulfric acid how strong are carboxylic acids?
Carboxylic acids are weaker
Fatty acids possess a long hydrocarbon tail?
In chemistry, and especially in biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic tail (chain). This tail is either saturated or unsaturated.
