(i) Difference between organic and inorganic acids are as follows :
| Organic acids | Inorganic acids |
|---|---|
| Acids derived from plants, e.g., citric acid, tartaric acid, acetic acid. | Acids derived from minerals e.g. HCl, H2SO4, HNO3 |
(ii) Difference between hydracids and oxyacids are as follows :
| Hydracids | Oxyacids |
|---|---|
| Acids containing hydrogen and a non-metallic element other than oxygen, e.g. HCl, HBr, HI. | Acids containing hydrogen, another element and oxygen, e.g. HNO3, H2SO4. |
