Carboxylic acids (organic acids) are always weak acids as they are only partly ionized in water.All mineral acids (inorganic acids) are not strong acids. Hydrochloric, nitric, sulphuric, chloric and perchloric acids are common examples of strong mineral acids, and they are completely ionized in water. But mineral acids like carbonic acid, nitrous acid and sulphurous acid are only weak acids.Carboxylic acids, though weak, are remarkably stable and most of them can be isolated in free, pure state. But the weak mineral acids like carbonic, sulphurous and nitrous acid are known to exist only in their aqueous solutions, and they cannot be isolated in free state.

carbonic acid is a organic acid and it is less harmful then minerals acid and aslo is present in fruit and vegetables where as mineral acid is made in laboratories and it is harmful the organic acid.
