The substance which have sour taste and turn blue litmus red are called acids when acid dissolved in water they dissociate to produce hydrogen(H+) such acids that are obtained from living source are called organic acids e.g acetic acid,citric acid ,malic acid etc
Such acids that are obtained from non living sources are called mineral acids ,e.g hydrochloric acid ,nitric acid and sulphuric acid etc
Acids containing only hydrogen are called hydra acids ,e.g hcl and acids having hydrogen and oxygen both are called oxyacids e.g H2SO4. Organic acids are also called
Carboxylic acid as they contain -COOH group
Oxides of non metals are behave as an acid
PROPERTIES OF ACIDS
Properties of acids are
•acids are conductor of electricity .
•acids evolve hydrogen with active metals
•acids react with metal carbonates and bicarbonates and give carbon dioxide gas .
•acids react with base to give salt and water this reaction is called neutralisation reaction
•acids are corrosive in nature
