Study Notes
Organic Acids
- Organic acids are naturally occurring acids found in plants and animals
- Examples include:
- Oxalic acid (guava)
- Citric acid (oranges, lemons, amla)
- Tartaric acid (grapes, tamarind, gooseberries)
- Lactic acid (sour milk)
- Acetic acid (vinegar)
Other Acids
- Some acids cause a stinging sensation:
- Formic acid (bees, ants, wasps, nettles)
- Strong acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid) are typically concentrated in factories.
- Diluting concentrated acids is done by adding water.
- Weak acids (e.g., citric acid, acetic acid, carbonic acid, formic acid) have lower concentrations.
