Inorganic acids can be derived from multiple inorganic compounds and are extracted from the minerals present in the earth’s crust
Inorganic acids are acids that are derived from mineral compounds. Organic acids are compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. When these molecules are dissolved in water, they form conjugate bases and hydrogen ions. This is what makes them acidic. This is why they are often used in industrial and medical applications. For instance, in December 2021, a research team at Stanford University School of Medicine, U.S., reported that the development of molecules that can bind with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and inhibit viral infection can help in the detection and treatment of COVID-19 infection. Inorganic acids should be handled carefully. Personal protective equipment must be worn by workers exposed to them. These include aprons, coats, overalls, and eye protection. Respiratory protection equipment should only be worn if necessary. Always wash thoroughly after handling inorganic acids. Inorganic acids should be stored in properly ventilated storage tanks. After working with ...
