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
