melting points range from like the teens to the hundreds. you have to know what compound you are dealing with.
Carboxylic acids with even carbon numbers tend to pack more efficiently in the solid state due to the symmetrical arrangement of molecules, leading to stronger intermolecular forces like van der Waals interactions. This results in higher melting points compared to carboxylic acids with odd carbon numbers that have a less compact packing arrangement and weaker intermolecular forces.
Yes, LiAlH4 can reduce carboxylic acids to alcohols.
No, sodium borohydride does not reduce carboxylic acids.
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.
No, sodium borohydride cannot reduce carboxylic acids.
methyl esters have very low melting points and they are volatile. so there melting points are difficult to obtain.

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 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 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.
No, all the carboxylic acids are organic because they contain carbon and hydrogen and have the living origin.
Yes, they are also organic acids.
