Solution: Most organic acids can be represented as RCOOH,
Chapter 9, Problem 9.91(choose chapter or problem)
Most organic acids can be represented as RCOOH, where COOH is the carboxyl group and R is the rest of the molecule. (For example, R is CH3 in acetic acid, CH3COOH.) (a) Draw a Lewis structure for the carboxyl group. (b) Upon ionization, the carboxyl group is converted to the carboxylate group, COO2. Draw resonance structures for the carboxylate group
