Carboxylic acids - snapshot

A carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group (C(=O)OH) attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R−COOH or R−CO2H, with R referring to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other group. Carboxylic acids occur widely. Important examples include the amino acids and fatty acids. Deprotonation of a carboxylic acid gives a carboxylate anion.Research Object in rohub2020: https://w3id.org/ro-id/6aa4b4a0-c7dc-4762-aee1-e8dc94a1705
