Acetylsalicylic acid:pain relief, fever relief, to reduce inflammation, known as aspirin
Ascorbic acid;antioxidant, vitamin, also called vitamin C
Carbonic acid:carbonated drinks, involved in cave stalactite and stalagmite formation and acid rain
Hydrochloric acid:digestion as gastric juice in stomach, to clean steal in a process known as pickling, commonly called muriatic acid
Nitric acid:to make fertilizers, colorless, yet yellow when exposed to light
Phosphoric acid:to make detergents, fertilizers and soft drinks, slightly sour but pleasant taste, detergents containing phosphates cause water pollution
Sulfuric acid:car batteries, to manufacture fertilizers, and other chemicals, dehydrating agent, causes burns by removing water from cells

Organic acids are of two types. One has the COOH group (the carboxyl group). An example is acetic acid (CH3COOH), the acid in vinegar. It is made by oxidizing grain alcohol or by the fermentation of the fruit sugar in cider.
The other type has a phenol group, as in phenol (C6H5OH).
Each type appears in salicylic acid (OHC6H4COOH). Water solutions of each type are weakly acidic
