Acids And Their Sources

Hello sir, please give me acids and their sources? Is there any one can provide me sources of Acids?

The acids are a carbon skeleton. Within these categories there are number of classes of neutral proton acids and bases.

The three main types of neutral organic Bronsted Lowry acids are carboxylic acids, phenols, and alcohols. Each of these three functional groups has an –OH group.

Organic Acids and its Sources

The lists of such organic acids are as follows.

Acids Origin
Cirtric acid Citrus fruits like oranges and lemons
Tartaric acid Fruits like grapes and tamarinds
Ascorbic acids Present in citrus fruits as Vitamin C
Methanoic acids The sting of nettle, and ant sting
Oxalic acids The juice of tomatoes

Types of Organic Acids:

Succinct acid is used lacquers and dye manufacturing.
Maleic acid is used in synthetic resins manufacturing and also as preservatives for oils and fats.
Fumaric acid is used in the production of polyester resins, various ink and organic syntheses.
Adipic acid is used for the production of nylon, as well as synthetic lubricants, long chains of urethanes and food acidulates.
Oxalic acid is used for cleaning, textile finish, as well as household metal cleaning formulations.
Oxalic acid is also used as bleaching agent of leather, and in syntheses.
