Acid Organic

The domain of organic acids is quite vast in itself, thanks to the sheer number of chemicals that fall under in this category, but for the sake of simplicity, they may be defined as organic compounds that exhibit acidic properties, and can be classified as weak and strong. Carboxylixc acids and Suplhonic acids fall under the former category while alcohols fall under the latter, mainly due to their relatively weaker acidic characteristics. As a whole, organic acids are weak acids and do not dissociate to the same extent as their mineral counterparts do in water, but are highly soluble in organic solvents.

1) Relatively simpler organic acids like acetic and formic acid are used in gas and oil well treatment
2) The conjugate bases of organic acids such as citric and lactic acids are used in bio-compatible buffer solutions
3) They are also used in rust removal and dissolution of oxides of iron without harming the base metals, which usually happens when mineral acids are used
4) They are widely used in food preservation, thanks to their effects on food bacteria by lowering the pH, which stops or impairs the growth of bacteria and by also disrupting their metabolic functions
