context_page_description: A carboxylate is the conjugate base of a carboxylic acid.
  Carboxylate salts have the general formula Mₙ, where M is a metal and n is 1, 2, ...; carboxylate esters have the general formula RCOOR′. R and R′ are organic groups; R′ ≠ H.
  A carboxylate ion is the conjugate base of a carboxylic acid, RCOO⁻
context_section_description: A carboxylate is the conjugate base of a carboxylic acid.
  Carboxylate salts have the general formula M(RCOO)ₙ, where M is a metal and n is 1, 2,...; carboxylate esters have the general formula RCOOR′ (or RCO₂R′). R and R′ are organic groups; R′ ≠ H.
  A carboxylate ion is the conjugate base of a carboxylic acid, RCOO⁻ (or (or RCO₂⁻). It is an ion with negative charge.
