Carboxulic acids are weak acids. This means they do not fully dissociate in water; they do not release!
10ms as for example hydrochlanc acid.
The pH of carbarylic acid solutions will be higher (less acidic) than for strong acids of the same concentration
(e.g. a pH4 instead of PH1)
Like any acid
they wil react with marte chips (calcium cartonate) or magnesium just slower/less violenty.
