Question

Carboxylic acids tend to release H+ ions more easily than alcohol. Which of the following is the correct explanation for their increased acidity?

Answer 1

Regretfully, you have not included in the question, the choices that would be our guide to arriving in the answer to this query. However, as a general knowledge, the acidity of a substance can be measured by its pH which is equal to,
                          pH = -log[H+]
which means that the increase in H+ ions will lead to the decrease in pH. A smaller pH value denotes that the substance is more acidic.
