Why boiling and melting points of carboxylic acids are higher than those of corresponding alcohols ?

Assertion : Direct attachment of groups such as phenyl or vinyl to the carboxylic acid, increases the acidity of the carboxylic acid. Reason : Resonance effect always increases the acidity of carboxylic acids.

Assertion : Most carboxylic acids exist as dimers in the vapour phase or in aprotic solvents. Reason : Higher carboxylic acids are practically insoluble in water due to the increased hydrophobic interaction of hydrocarbon part.
