HCL is present in our stomach yet it is said an inorganic acid. why?? |
|
Answer» acids are compounds which are organic and are acidic in NATURE. We can't say a compound is organic just because it is produced in an ORGANISM. HCl is produced in our body but it is not an organic compound. To be organic, there should be COVALENTLY BONDED carbon atoms in it. There is no covalently bonded carbon in HCl. So HCl is an acid, infact a very strong acid; but not an organic acid. |
