could someone please explain 'the water solubility of carboxylic acid in terms of hydrogen bonding and DIPOLE-DIPOLE INTERACTION'.
I'm aware that C=O is polar
thanks in advance

Spoiler
The OH bond in the carboxylic acid forms a hydrogen bond with the water molecule so the net energy that is needed to make and break bonds when dissolving the carboxylic acid in water compensates. This because u arent forming any bonds that are stronger in the solution compared to the solute (carboxylic acid)
Hence u are basically breaking hydrogen bonds to form hydrogen bonds.
