What is Organic acid?
'''Organic acid''' is a type of organic compound that typically has acidic properties. A common example of organic acids are called carboxyl acids, which are generally known as weak acids and do not totally dissociate in a medium such as water, unlike with strong minerals. The simplest form of organic acids, such as [[Acetic acid|acetic]] and [[Formic acid|formic]], are typically used in stimulation treatments against corrosion for gas and oil, since these are less reactive compared to [[hydrochloric acid]] and other strong acids.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Organic Acids - an overview {{!}} ScienceDirect Topics|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/organic-acids|access-date=2021-07-24|website=www.sciencedirect.com}}</ref> == References == {{reflist}} [[Category:Acids]] [[Category:Organic compounds]] {{chem-stub}}
