Carboxylic acids do not give the.characteristic reactions of carbonyl group. Explain.

Assertion : Carboxylic acids contain a carbonyl group but do not give characteristic reaction of the carbonyl group. Reason : The electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon is more in carbocylic acids than in aldehydes and ketones.
