Is sulfuric acid an inorganic compound?
YES!!! REason ; It does NOT contain any carbon. Sometimes it can be referred to as a minedral acid. Other inorganic acids are Hydrochloric acid Nitric Acid Phophoric Acid . This list is NOT exhaustive. There are many more mineral acids. However, There are the carboxylic acids, archaically (fatty acids). These are organic because they contain carbon. Methanoic (formic) acid (HCOOH) Ethanoic (Acetic) acid (CH3COOH) Ethane-di-oic (Oxalic) acid (HOOC-COOH) Pentanoic (Valeric) acid (CH3CH2CH2CH2COOH) Again the list is not exhaustive . There are many more carboxylic acids.
How do you differentiate experimentally between alcohol and carboxylic acid?
Alcohols are soluble in water (the longer the carbon chain the less soluble it will be) Carboxylic acids are insoluble in water. Hope this helps
How many carboxylic acid groups does aspartate contain?
two (2)
What are polyamides?
The amide link is produced from the condensation reaction of an amino group and a carboxylic acid or acid chloride group. A small molecule, usually water, or hydrogen chloride, is eliminated. The amino group and the carboxylic acid group can be on the same monomer, or the polymer can be constituted of two different bifunctional monomers, one with two amino groups, the other with two carboxylic acid or acid chloride groups. Amino acids can be taken as examples of single monomer (if the difference between R groups is ignored) reacting with identical molecules to form a polyamide: The reaction of two amino acids. Many of these reactions produce long chain proteins Aramid (pictured below) is made from two different monomers which continuously alternate to form the polymer and is an aromatic polyamide: The reaction of 1,4-phenyl-diamine (para-phenylenediamine) and terephthaloyl chloride to produce Aramid
Structural formula of citric acid?
The formula is C6H8O7citric-acidCitric acid's (C6H8O7) 'proper' name is 3-carboxyl-3-hydroxypentanedioc acid. This tells us that there is a carboxylic group at each end of chain of five carbon atoms. It also tells us that on the third carbon atom there is a hydroxyl group and another carboxylic group.I'm not sure for certain, but I'm pretty sure the structural formula for this is:COOHCH2COH(COOH)CH2COOH
Are glycine and carboxylic acid th same?
No, glycine is one of many different carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids come in a wide variety ranging from formic acid to amino acids (which include glycine) and fatty acids.
Where does carboxylic acid come from in nature?
Different carboxylic acids are found in different places. Here are a few examples. The simplest of them, formic acid, is a component of the venom of many ants and other insects. Caproic, caprylic, and capric acids are in the skin secretions of goats. Lactic acid can be found found in sour milk, sore muscles, and the human mouth.
How are hydrocarbon fatty acids classified depending upon their nature?
Fatty acids are NOT hydrocarbons. Fatty acids are carboxylic acids containing the functional group -COOH. Hydrocarbons contain only carbon and hydrogen. It is absolutely crucial in all branches of chemistry to know exactly what the words mean and to use them precisely. Carboxylic acids have the general formula RCOOH, where the R is nearly always made of carbon and hydrogen. There are several ways to classify them, but the one met most frequently looks at the saturation of the R- group. If there are no double bonds it is saturated, one double bond makes it mono-unsaturated, and many double bonds make it polyunsaturated.

What are some carboxylic acids you encounter in daily life?
Carboxylic acids have the -COOH group, where the carbon is doublebonded to one oxygen and has a single bond to the other; the second oxygen is bonded to a hydrgen atom. This group is common in many natural places such as acetic acid and lactic acid. They are organic acids and do not ionize well in water, hence they are weak acids and weak electrolytes. Some examples are CH3COOH and CH3CH(OH)COOH.
What was carboxylic acid used for?
Rather than there being a substance called carboxylic acid, scientists call the-COOH group that occours frequently in many different compounds the carboxylic acid functional group.

Alcohols are soluble in water (the longer the carbon chain the less soluble it will be) Carboxylic acids are insoluble in water. Hope this helps
Is OH found in many proteins?
If you mean the hydroxyl functional group (-OH), then only serine and threonine contain it. However, all amino acids contain one or more carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional groups and they all contain OH as part of that functional group, though the carboxylic acid functional group should be considered a single unit.
What class of molecules contain the carbonyl group CO?
There are many. Aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, amides, esters, acid anhydrides and organo-metallic compounds such as Iron Pentacarbonyl etc contain the -C=O group.
Does urea contain protein?
The molecular formula of the urea is NH2-CO-NH2. The proteins are long chain of many amino acids. Urea is formed out of metabolism ( break down) of the amino acids.
How many carboxylic acid groups does aspartate contain?
two (2)
What is a chemical containing carbon hydrogen and oxygen?
It is made up of one carbon atom , two oxygen atoms, and one hydrogen atom. The carbon atom is double bonded to one oxygen atom and single bonded to the other, which is in turn bonded to the hydrogen.
