How do carboxylic acids compare to other types of acids in terms of ionization?

• They fully ionize like strong acids.
• They do not ionize at all.
• They are weak acids and do not fully ionize.

What happens when a carboxylic acid ionizes in solution?

• It fully ionizes to form a strong acid.
• It partially ionizes, establishing an equilibrium.
• It forms only water.
