1.	What is the main reason for the fact that carboxylic acid can undergo ionization ?A. Absence of alpha - hydrogenB. Resonance stabilization of the carboxylate ionC. High reactivity of alpha- hydrogenD. Less reactivity of `alpha` - H atom
Answer» Correct Answer - B `RCOOH +H_(2)O to RCOO^(-)+H_(3)O^(+)` Because of resonance stabilization of carboxylate ion, the equilibrium shifts in the forward direction , thereby forming more and more of hydronium ions.
