Answers
Answer:
This article needs additional citations for verification.
An organic acid is an organic compound with acidic properties. The most common organic acids are the carboxylic acids, whose acidity is associated with their carboxyl group –COOH. Sulfonic acids, containing the group –SO2OH, are relatively stronger acids. Alcohols, with –OH, can act as acids but they are usually very weak. The relative stability of the conjugate base of the acid determines its acidity. Other groups can [also] confer acidity, usually weakly: the thiol group –SH, the enol group, and the phenol group. In biological systems, organic compounds containing these groups are generally referred to as organic acids.
A few common examples include:
lactic acid
acetic acid
formic acid
citric acid
oxalic acid
uric acid
malic acid
tartaric acid
Carboxylic acid
organic compound
Lactic acid
Potassium lactate
