Answer:
Acids are a molecule or other species which can donate a proton or accept an electron pair in reactions. The word “acid” is derived from the Latin word “acidus” which means sour. All acid elements have a few things in common i.e all are sour in taste, they turn blue litmus paper to red, and lose their acidity if they’re combined with alkaline substances. The pH level of acids ranges from 0–6.
Characterization dependent on the source
This implies the corrosive is characterized based on their source or starting point. They are chiefly of two sorts: Organic corrosive and Mineral corrosive.
- Natural Acid: This is the corrosive acquired from natural materials, for example, plants and creatures. For example Citrus extract (Citrus organic products), Acetic corrosive (Vinegar), Oleic corrosive (Olive oil), and so on.
- Mineral Acid: Mineral corrosive is acquired from minerals. They are otherwise called inorganic acids. They don't contain carbon. For example H2SO4, HCl. HNO3, and so on.
