Diol

In chemistry there are so many chemical compounds that have a hydroxyl group but a chemical compound having two hydroxyl groups (-OH) is termed as a diol. It also implies the presence of two alcohols whereas polyols contain two or more than two hydroxyl groups (-OH). Glycol or 1,2-diol is an aliphatic diol that has two alcohol groups on adjacent carbon atoms. In industries, the most commonly used diol is ethylene glycol.

Are carboxylic acids or carboxylate ions more acidic? I'm confused about the terms and how to determine the acidity. Here is my current understanding: Carboxylic acids have the ability to donate a hydrogen ion and become deprotonated, therefore it is acidic. Carboxylate ions are already deprotonated and have already become acidic. Is this correct?
