what is the name of -COOH?

Question

help thx

Answer 1

Carboxylic acid

One of a large family of organic substances widely distributed in nature, and characterized by the presence of one or more carboxyl groups (—COOH). These groups typically yield protons in aqueous solution. In the type formula, R(CXY)nCOOH, symbols R, X, and Y can be hydrogen, saturated or unsaturated groups, carboxyl, alicyclic, or aromatic groups, halogens, or other substituents, and n may vary from zero (formic acid, HCOOH) to more than 100, provided that the normal carbon covalence of four is maintained.

Physical and chemical properties of carboxylic acids are represented, grossly, by the resultant of the various chemical groupings present in the molecule. A short-chain aliphatic acid, wherein the carboxyl is dominant, is a pungent, corrosive, water-soluble liquid of abnormally high boiling point (because of molecular association), with specific gravity close to 1 (higher for formic and acetic acids). With increasing molecular weight, the hydrocarbon grouping overbalances the carboxyl; sharpness of odor diminishes, boiling and melting points rise, the specific gravity falls toward that of the parent hydrocarbon, and the water solubility decreases. Thus the typical high-molecular-weight saturated acid is a bland, waxlike solid.

Answer 2

Carboxylic acids are organic acids characterized by the presence of a carboxyl group, which has the SMILES formula -C(=O)-OH, usually written as -COOH. In general, the salts and anions of carboxylic acids are called carboxylates.

Simply Carboxylic acid

Answer 3

Carboxyl group.

Answer 4

Carboxyl group i think

Answer 5

carboxylic acid

Answer 6

I dont know, but I think is a biology or chemistry term.

Answer 7

Its an acid. organic. I think someone else should have it by now.

Answer 8

you guys sure it isn't acetyl???
