All the families of organic compounds exist as a homologous series (A series having a difference of 'CH2' unit between two consecutive members) the main homologous series-es are Alkanes, Alkenes, Alcohols and Carboxylic acids (Fatty acids).

Organic Acids
Acids
alcohols are more volatile than organic carboxylic acids (each with same number of carbon atoms).
Waxes are esters formed by condensing organic fatty acids and long-chain (fatty) alcohols. So they contain organic acids, but are not acids themselves.
This functional group is -OH.
Esters are compounds that form when organic acids react with alcohols.

None - hydrocarbons are chemically different than acids and alcohols
H2SO4 acts as a catalyst to speed up the reaction between the various alcohols and carboxylic acids in order to form esters and water as product
acids and alkalis have no difference
