    Acetic acid and benzoic acid are two examples of carboxylic acids. Acetic acid is a liquid with a strong odor that is soluble in water and acids, while benzoic acid is a solid that is soluble in sodium hydroxide and acids. Both acids can be used to produce esters through an esterification reaction with ethanol in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid.
