|
Answer» This means that the acid is classified on the basis of their source or origin. They are mainly of two types: Organic acid and Mineral acid. Organic Acid: This is the acid obtained from organic materials such as plants and animals. For e.g. Citric acid (Citrus fruits), Acetic acid (Vinegar), Oleic acid (Olive oil), etc. Acids are classified as\xa0Organic Acids and Mineral Acids. Acids which are derived from plants and animals, they are known as\xa0Organic Acids.\xa0For Example, Citric Acid from fruit. Mineral acids are inorganic acids such as\xa0Sulphuric Acid. They are dangerous to be used, so need more precautions.Acids are also classified as\xa0Strong Acids or Weak Acids. Strong acid is an acid, that completely dissociates into ions in aqueous solutions.\xa0For Example, Sulphuric Acid, Hydrochloric Acid.Weak acid is the one which does not dissociate completely into ions in aqueous solutions.\xa0For Example,\xa0Acetic Acid. |
