Yes, lower members of carboxylic acids only.
Carboxylic acids are weaker acids than sulfuric acid. This is because carboxylic acids have two weak acidic hydrogen atoms compared to sulfuric acid's strong acidic hydrogen atoms. This makes sulfuric acid a stronger acid than carboxylic acids.
Carboxylic acids are less acidic than mineral acids because the carboxylic acid group has resonance stabilization through delocalization of the negative charge over the oxygen atoms, making it less available for donation. In contrast, mineral acids, such as hydrochloric acid, readily donate a proton without this stabilization, resulting in a stronger acidity.
The melting points of carboxylic acids generally increase with the number of carbon atoms in the molecule. This is due to stronger intermolecular forces, such as hydrogen bonding, in longer chain carboxylic acids. Additionally, branching in the carbon chain can lower the melting point due to decreased surface area for intermolecular interactions.
Acidity is partly determined by its stability of its conjugate base. Once the acid is deprotonated, it is left with a negative charge. Molecules with double bonded oxygens can participate in resonance, which would spread its negative charge over a larger space. Since sulfonic acid has two double bonded oxygens and carboxylic acids only have one, sulfonic acid is more acidic.
Yes, LiAlH4 can reduce carboxylic acids to alcohols.

Yes, to peroxy carboxylic acids.
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.

No, sodium borohydride does not reduce carboxylic acids.
No, sodium borohydride cannot reduce carboxylic acids.
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.
carboxylic acids are more stronger acids this is because in the resonance stabilisation of carboxylic acid the electron density is more pronounced in two oxygen atoms also in the reaction of carboxylic acid with an alkali ; for eg; sodium hydroxide it can donate lone pair of electron to a higher base hence it act as a Lewis acid>.
Carboxylic acids are a subtype of acids that contain a carboxyl group (–COOH). Acids, on the other hand, are substances that can release hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution. Carboxylic acids typically have a carboxyl group attached to a carbon atom, giving them distinct chemical and physical properties compared to other types of acids.
