Organic acids are types of organic compounds that have acidic properties. Chemically, organic acids are weak acids that contain a carbon atom in their compound, the most popular of which are carboxylic acids. These acids have the tendency to slowly dissolve in solvents and can dissolve iron oxides without damaging the base metal. The simplest form of organic acids is acetic and formic, which are less reactive compared to non-organic acids such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid. Apart from containing the carboxyl (R-COOH) functional group, organic compounds that include the thiol (R-SH), enol (alkenols), and phenol (aromatic hydrocarbons-OH) groups are also considered under organic acids.
