What does your textbook say about 12.13 Acidity of Carboxylic acids?
Carboxylic acids undergo ionisation to produce H + and carboxylate ions in aqueous solution. The carboxylate anion is stabilised by resonance which make the Carboxylic acid to donate the proton easily. R R O + H + Carboxylic acid Carboxylate ion The resonance structure of carboxylate ion are given below. The strength of carboxylic acid can be expressed in terms of the dissociation constant(Ka):
