name two organic acid and how are minerals acids different from organic acid
Answers
In general, organic acids are weak acids and do not dissociate completely in water, whereas the strong mineral acids do. On the other hand, most organic acids are very soluble in organic solvents
Answer:
Examples : (1) citric acid
(2) acetic acid
Explanation:
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.
