Mineral acid are inorganic acids that are derived from one or more inorganic compounds.
Mineral acids are used in various fields and can range from superacids to weak ones.
These are soluble in water but insoluble in organic solvents.
The corrosive nature makes them ideal for direct use.
Hydrochloric acid, Nitric acid and Sulphuric acid are mineral acids but carbonic acid is not mineral acid.

Answer:
Carbonic Acid is not mineral acid.
Explanation:
- A mineral acid is commonly known as inorganic acid.
- Any acid derived from an inorganic compound and dissociates to produce hydrogen ions (H+) in water is a mineral acid.
- Mineral acids are soluble in water.
- Mineral acids are insoluble in organic solvents and are corrosive.
- Sulphuric acid( H2SO4) is derived from an inorganic compound SO3. Nitric acid( HNO3) is derived from NO2 which is also an inorganic compound and so as hydrochloric acid(HCl) . As they are all obtained from non-organic or non-living things so they are called mineral acids.
- Organic acid contains carbon atoms and insoluble in water. It is soluble in organic solvents and has a biological origin.
- Carbonic Acid has those properties of Organic Acid.
