What is the difference between organic acid and weak acid |
| Answer» In general,\xa0organic acids\xa0are\xa0weak acids\xa0and do not dissociate completely in water, whereas the\xa0strong\xa0mineral\xa0acids\xa0do. Lower molecular mass\xa0organic acids\xa0such as formic and lactic\xa0acids\xa0are miscible in water, but higher molecular mass\xa0organic acids, such as benzoic\xa0acid, are insoluble in molecular (neutral) form.\xa0A great\xa0way to identify\xa0whether or not you are looking at an\xa0organic acid\xa0is to find the carboxylic\xa0acid\xa0functional group, RCOOH. A\xa0weak acid\xa0is one that does not dissociate fully in water. ...
