Explanation:
Classification based on the source.
They are mainly of two types: Organic acid and mineral acid. Organic acid: This is the acid obtained from organic materials such as plants and animals.
For e.g. Citric acid (Citrus fruits), Acetic acid (Vinegar), Oleic acid (Olive oil) etc.

- Organic acids, these are acids are organic which means they are carbon based and are obtained by animals and plants.
- Mineral acids, these are inorganic acids which are obtained from rocks and minerals.
- Oxy-acid: Acids that consist oxygen in their composition is known as Oxy-acids. For e.g. H2SO4, HNO3, etc.
- Hydracid: Those that consist hydrogen combined with other elements and do not contain any oxygen in their composition and do not contain any oxygen in their composition are called Hydracids. For e.g. HCl, HI, HBr, etc.
- Strong Acids: An acid which can be dissociated completely or almost completely in water is known as a strong acid. For e.g. sulphuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, etc
- Concentrated Acid: When an aqueous solution has a relatively high percentage of acid dissolved in it, then it is a concentrated acid. For e.g. concentrated hydrochloric acid, concentrated sulphuric acid, concentrated nitric acid, etc,
- Diluted Acid: When an aqueous solution has a relatively low percentage of acid dissolved in it, then it is a dilute acid. For e.g. dilute hydrochloric acid, dilute sulphuric acid, dilute nitric acid, etc.
- Monobasic Acid: A monobasic acid is an acid which has only one hydrogen ion. Therefore, these acids combine with one hydroxyl group of the base to form salt and water. For e.g. HCl, HCOOH, HBr, etc
- Dibasic Acid: Dibasic acid is that which shares twp hydroxyl groups it is known as dibasic acid. Dibasic acid dissociates in 2 steps. They can provide 2 kinds of salts i.e. the normal salt and a hydrogen salt
- Tribasic Acid: Tribasic acids are those which can combine with three hydroxyl groups. They have three replaceable hydrogen ions, and they produce 3 types of salts. For e.g. H3PO4
