melting points range from like the teens to the hundreds. you have to know what compound you are dealing with.

Why the melting point of carboxylic acids with even carbon number are greater than odd carbon number carboxylic acids?
Carboxylic acids with odd number carbon atoms are packed in crystals less efficiently than those that have even numbers.
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?
Carboxylic acids are weaker
Carboxylic acids are moderately stronger acids than 2-naphthol?
Yes, lower members of carboxylic acids only.
Why methyl esters are not suitable as derivative for carboxylic acids?
methyl esters have very low melting points and they are volatile. so there melting points are difficult to obtain.
Why the melting point of carboxylic acids with even carbon number are greater than odd carbon number carboxylic acids?
Carboxylic acids with odd number carbon atoms are packed in crystals less efficiently than those that have even numbers.
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.

Yes, lower members of carboxylic acids only.
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 acids inorganic?
No, all the carboxylic acids are organic because they contain carbon and hydrogen and have the living origin.
Are carboxylic acids truly acids?
Yes, they are also organic acids.
Why do alcohols have lower boiling points than the corresponding carboxylic acids?
Alcohols have low power Vander woals bonds.Carboxilic acids have Hydrogen bonds as inter molecular bonds.
