    The document lists various acids along with their chemical formulas and common names. It then describes a system of naming carboxylic acids based on the number of carbons in the acid chain. The common names include formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, and others that indicate the number of carbons through the -oic acid suffix. Fatty acids are identified as those with 12 or more carbons such as lauric acid and stearic acid.
