Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibri…
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.

Question
100%

Are carboxylic acids or carboxylate ions more acidic? I'm confused about the terms and how to determine the acidity. 

Here is my current understanding:

Carboxylic acids have the ability to donate a hydrogen ion and become deprotonated, therefore it is acidic.

Carboxylate ions are already deprotonated and have already become acidic.

Is this correct?
