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
