Which of the following statement is FALSE?
A) Carboxylic acids are mildly acid (pKa’s ~ 5)
B) Carboxylic acids are lower boiling points than alcohols of similar molecular weights because they form hydrogen-bonded dimmers.
C) Electron –donating groups decrease the acidity of carboxylic acids.
D) Carboxyl salts are produced when carboxylic acids are treated with NaOH

Answer =
Explanation:
Boiling points of carboxylic acids are generally higher than that of the corresponding alcohols. Let's see, boiling point of methanol,
