Question

Hi mates...

As we know Hcl is a mineral acid(inorganic acid)....

But, it is also produced in our body too!

My quest is ...

Which group it belongs to ?? organic or inorganic ?


please help

Answer 1

it belongs to inorganic

Answer 2

An organic compound must have a vital component, Carbon, in HCl, there is a distinct lack of Carbon, which classifies it as inorganic acids(i.e mineral acid). In order for an acid to be an organic one, it has to be carbon based. HCl has no carbon atoms in it.
