Question
Which of the following is TRUE about carboxylic acids?Group of answer choicesOrganic compounds containing a OH groupOrganic compounds containing a N bonded to the carbonyl C atomOrganic compounds containing a COOH groupOrganic compounds containing a OR group bonded to the carbonyl c atom
Solution
The correct answer is: Organic compounds containing a COOH group.
Carboxylic acids are organic compounds that contain a carboxyl group (COOH). The COOH group is made up of a carbonyl group (C=O) and a hydroxyl group (OH). This is what gives carboxylic acids their acidic properties. The other options listed do not accurately describe the structure of carboxylic acids.
