Carboxylic acids are typically weak acids, meaning that they only partially dissociate into H+ cations and RCOO- anions in neutral aqueous solution.
The pKa depends on the acid and can vary from 1 to 6.5
Some carboxylic acids and its pKa are given:
Formic acid (HCOOH) 3.75
Acetic acid (CH3COOH) 4.76
Chloroacetic acid (CH2ClCO2H) 2.86
Dichloroacetic acid (CHCl2CO2H) 1.29
Trichloroacetic acid (CCl3CO2H) 0.65
Trifluoroacetic acid (CF3CO2H) 0.5
Oxalic acid (HO2CCO2H) 1.27
Benzoic acid (C6H5CO2H) 4.2

What is pKa value of aminoacids?
The pKa values of Amino acids depends on its side chain. However, the protonated amine group (NH3+) tends to have a pKa greater than 8.8, whereas the carboxylic acid (COOH) tends to have a pKa of 1.8 - 2.8. If you keep your amino acid at a pH between this value, you will likely have a Zwitter ion.
What are the acidic hydrogens in salicylic acid?
The OH group bonding with the carbonyl group has a pKa around 5, and the OH group connected ortho of the carbonyl group has a pKa around 10. Added correction: Salicylic acid is a monoprotic, not a diprotic acid in water. From wikipedia table value: pKa 2.97
What is the pka of bromoacetic acid?
pKa=2.86
Is formic acid an Aldehyde or a Carboxylic acid?
Formic acid is methanoic acid. A carboxylic 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.
Why acylation occur at phenol rather than carboxylic acid in salicylic acid?
This is actually quite simple: the pKa of the carboxylic acid group is only about 3, but the pKa of the phenolic group is 13.4.

What is pKa in chemistry?
It refers to the acidity of the fatty acid (which make up the oils). Every fatty acid is composed of a non-polar long chain of hydrocarbons (carbon and hydrogen) and a polar head made up of Carboxylic ACID. Every acid has something called pKa which determines the acidity of that acid.The bigger the pKa (e.g. 25), the weaker the acid.The smaller ther pKa (e.g. 2), the stronger the acid.
How do you determine the pKa value of an organic compound for HPLC method?
the organic compound three kind normal, acid and basic compound for acid compound the pKa from 3 to 5, normal pKa around 7 and basic compound more than 7 also you can know the kind of organic compound from structure that you can see acidic or basic grope like carboxylic acid or amine.
What are the products of an ester and water?
An alcohol and a carboxylic acid salt (carboxylic acid if protonated at end of reaction).
What is the pka of bromoacetic acid?
pKa=2.86

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.
Is vinegar a carboxylic acid?
Vinegar is ethanoic acid CH3COOH, so yes it is a carboxylic acid.
Why are carboxyl groups hydrophilic?
the carboxylic group normally came from carboxylic acid. Hence, the carboxylic acid is polar acid. and the polarity came from the carboxylic group for that it is hydrophilic group
What solution contains a carboxylic acid?
Vinegar is dilute acetic acid and thus contains a carboxylic acid.
