Everything about Mineral Acid totally explained
A
mineral acid is an
acid derived by
chemical reaction from
inorganic minerals, as opposed to
organic acids. These have hydrogen(s) atoms covalently bonded with an
anion, such as
sulphate, or
chloride, depending on the charge of the anion.
Characteristics
Mineral acids range from acids of great strength (example: sulfuric acid) to very weak (boric acid). As mineral acid molecules tend to consist of only a few atoms, of which many are polar, they tend to be very soluble in water, and insoluble in organic solvents. Mineral acids are very important to chemical procedures.
These acids are most often used in large-scale industries. For example, a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid is used for removing the deposits from the inside of boilers, with precautions taken to prevent the corrosion of the boiler by the acid. This process is known as de-scaling. Therefore, large quantities of these acids, especially sulfuric acid, nitric acid and hydrochloric acid are manufactured for commercial use in large plants.
