carboxylic acid
carboxylic acid Member of a class of organic chemical compounds containing the group COOH. The commonest example is
ethanoic acid (acetic acid, CH
3COOH), which is present in vinegar. These acids are weakly acidic, forming salts with bases and esters with alcohols. Esters of high-molecular weight, carboxylic acids, such as stearic, lauric and oleic acids, are present in animal and vegetable fats; for this reason carboxylic acids are often called
fatty acids.
