CnH2n+1COOH, where n = 0, 1, 2, 3...
Eg. (In IUPAC Nomenclature):
(n = 0) Methanoic acid : HCOOH
(n = 1) Ethanoic acid : CH3COOH
(n = 2) Propanoic acid : C2H5COOH
Carboxylic acids contain an OH group and a double bonded Oxygen atom to one carbon which is attached to any hydrocarbon
the most basic way to show a carboxylic acid is R-----COOH
R stands for some hydrocarbon...
A carboxylic acid is an organic acid. Organic acid is one that has the acid group made from carbon, oxygen and hydrogen.
Carbon has four bonds;
[R]-COOH
Where [R] stands for the "rest" of the molecule e.g. CH3CH2
This carboxylic acid would be called "Propanoic Acid" and would be written CH3CH2COOH
COOH
Coo- -> H+
The general formula is R-COOH.

There are two functional groups: 1. Carboxyl group 2. Ester group
ester
The functional groups of anything are the croups that aren't normal alkane (single carbon-hydrogen bonds) groups. In the case of Ibuprofen there are two functional groups. The first is the aromatic group or Benzene ring in the centre of the structure. The second is the carboxylic acid group (Oxygen double bonded to two
It's the carboxylic acid functional group (COOH).
It is a carboxyl functional group, consisting of a carbonyl and hydroxyl group. It is an ACID [moiety].
The functional group in an organic acid is -COOH.

Sulfur.
Rather than there being a substance called carboxylic acid, scientists call the-COOH group that occours frequently in many different compounds the carboxylic acid functional group.

An acidic acid is something with a pH of less than 7.0. Actually this term is used for Amino acids having carboxylic groups higher than amino groups.
