What are the characteristics of organic acids?

Characteristics of Organic Acids:

• Are derived from organic, biological sources
• Essentially contain a carbon atom in their structure
• Are typically weak acids
• May be weakly corrosive in nature or completely non-corrosive
• Are insoluble in water
• Have a slightly higher pH value compared to mineral acids, which is indicative of their weaker acidic nature
• Ionize only partially in solution
