Question

Complete the analogy.

Organic acid: Lactic acid: : Mineral acid: ___________​

Answer 1

The complete analogy is :

Organic Acids: Lactic Acid:: Mineral Acids: Hydrochloric acid

ORGANIC ACIDS:

• Organic acids are the class acids containing organic compounds.
• They are composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
• These are mainly naturally occurring acids obtained from plants and animals.
• Acids are soluble in alcohol and ether.
• Example - Citric acid, formic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid.

MINERAL ACIDS:

• Class of acids containing inorganic compounds.
• Formed by the combination of different types of elements.
• These are mainly derived from minerals obtained from the earth's surface.
• The acids are soluble in water and insoluble in organic compounds.
• Example - Hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, hydroiodic acid, Nitric acid.
