1. Why is the C-O single bond of a carboxylic acid shorter than the C-O single bond of an alcohol?

1. The carbon in the alcohol is sp² hybridized and has a higher percent s-character that lengthens the C-O bond in the alcohol.

1. The carbon in the carboxylic acid is sp³ hybridized and has a lower percent s-character that shortens the C-O bond in the carboxylic acid.

1. The carbon in the carboxylic acid is sp hybridized and has a higher percent s-character that shortens the C-O bond in the carboxylic acid.
