Answer 2

Hlo friend, here is your answer.


Acids which are naturally occurring and are found in plants and animals, are called organic acids. Many fruits and vegetables contain organic acids. For example, guava contains oxalic acid. Orange, lemon and amla contain citric acid. Grapes, tamarind and gooseberries contain tartaric acid. Sour milk contains lactic acid. Vinegar contains acetic acid (CH3COOH). Due to present of this acid the taste of some fruits are sour.

Acids, like citric acid, acetic acid, carbonic acid and formic acid, are weak acids. Acids, manufactured in the factories, are highly concentrated, that is, the water content in them is very low. Their concentration can be decreased by adding water to them. Acids, having a low concentration, are called dilute acids.



Hope it helps you.
