Are carboxylic acids are unsaturated or saturated compounds?
They are saturated compounds
Which category of organic chemical is made up of fatty acids?
Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with ling aliphatic chain.
What repeating units make up a protein fatty acids peptide acids amino acids carboxylic acids?
They are the amino acids. They are the monomers
Do carboxylic acids get oxisidized?
Yes, to peroxy carboxylic 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.
Why are Carboxylic acids considered weak acids?
Because the conjugate bases are unstable the carboxylic acids are weak acids.
What is the difference between acids and carboxylic acids?
Carboxylic acids are a type of acids which also has a -COOH functional group.
When compared to sulfric acid how strong are carboxylic acids?

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 sulfuric acid an inorganic compound?
YES!!! REason ; It does NOT contain any carbon. Sometimes it can be referred to as a minedral acid. Other inorganic acids are Hydrochloric acid Nitric Acid Phophoric Acid . This list is NOT exhaustive. There are many more mineral acids. However, There are the carboxylic acids, archaically (fatty acids). These are organic because they contain carbon. Methanoic (formic) acid (HCOOH) Ethanoic (Acetic) acid (CH3COOH) Ethane-di-oic (Oxalic) acid (HOOC-COOH) Pentanoic (Valeric) acid (CH3CH2CH2CH2COOH) Again the list is not exhaustive . There are many more carboxylic acids.
Are carboxylic acids truly acids?
Yes, they are also organic acids.
Why segregate inorganic acids from organic acids?
why do we segregate inorganic acids from organic acids
Melting points of carboxylic acids?
melting points range from like the teens to the hundreds. you have to know what compound you are dealing with.
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.
