The generic term is carboxylate; more specifically, it's the root name of the compound with "-ic acid" replaced by "-ate": acetic acid -> acetate; benzoic acid -> benzoate, etc.

What is the name of the carboxylic acid with the formula CH3 COOH?
Acetic acid
What would a carboxylic acid with 6 carbons in a straight chain be called?
When chemists name compounds, we look at the length of the parent chain (in this case, 6 carbons.) and the functional group(s) (in this case, carboxylic acid). A regular 6C (all single bonds) hydrocarbon is termed "hexane" , the prefix "hex-" denoting the 6 carbons. When naming a compound with the carboxylic acid functional group, we add the suffix "-oic acid". Thus, a 6C carboxylic acid is hexanoic acid
Amino acids can act as acids and as bases why?
Amino Acids, as their name suggests, have a both an amine group (NH2) and a carboxylic (COOH) group. Amine groups are basic and when we treat them with strong acid (like your classic hydrochloric acid), we can protonate them to form NH3+. Carboxylic groups are acidic and when we treat them with strong base (like your classic sodium hydroxide) we can deprotonate them to form (COO-). Amino acids, because they contain both a basic amine group and an acidic carboxylic group, can act as either an acid or a base.

What is Acetyl chloride IUPAC name?
Ethanoyl chloride. The carbonyl carbon is given the number 1 position in the systematic IUPAC nomenclature. You name acyl halides by replacing the "ic acid" of the acid name (because it is a derivative of carboxylic acids) with "yl chloride/bromide" or with "carbonyl chloride/bromide" for acids ending with carboxylic acid.
