Explanation:
What are organic acids?
★ Organic acids are the acids which are found naturally in nature or in other words, naturally occurring through metabolic activities.
★ Some common examples of organic acids are:
- Citric acid which is most commonly found in lemons and oranges
- Lactic acid found in milk products like curds.
- Oxalic acid most likely to be in onions
- Tartaric acid found in tamarind.
- Acetic acid which is present in vinegar.
★ All these organic acids are formed by the bonding of carbon atoms with other atoms and so they have carbon as their primary element.
What are mineral acids?
★ Mineral acids or inorganic acids are acids which do not have carbon atom as their element. They are mostly formed synthetically.
★ Some common examples of mineral acids are:
- Hydrochloric acid which is one of the strongest acid and whose chemical formula is HCl
- Sulphurous acid whose chemical formula is H₂SO₃
- Nitric acid which has a chemical formula HNO₃
- Nitrous acid whose chemical formula is HNO₂
★ As it can be observed from their chemical formula, these acids do not have even a single carbon atom.
