Carboxylic acids have higher boiling points than aldehydes, ketones and even alcohols of comparable molecular mass. It is due to their
Explanation
Carboxylic acids form strongly H-bonded dimers.
Detailed Solution
Due to formation of intermolecular H-bonding in carboxylic acids, association occurs.
Hence the boiling point increases and becomes more than that of aldehydes, ketones and alcohols of comparable molecular masses.
