Simple organic acids like formic or acetic acids are used for oil and gas well stimulation treatments. These organic acids are much less reactive with metals than are strong mineral acids like hydrochloric acid (HCl) or mixtures of HCl and hydrofluoric acid (HF). For this reason, organic acids are used at high temperatures or when long contact ...
Lewis acids reacting with Lewis bases in gas phase and non-aqueous solvents have been classified in the ECW model, and it has been shown that there is no one order of acid strengths. [12] The relative acceptor strength of Lewis acids toward a series of bases, versus other Lewis acids, can be illustrated by C-B plots.

A large survey of the dicarboxylic acids present in Mediterranean nuts revealed unusual components. [6] A total of 26 minor acids (from 2 in pecan to 8% in peanut) were determined: 8 species derived from succinic acid, likely in relation with photosynthesis, and 18 species with a chain from 5 to
Carboxylic acids are typically weak acids, meaning that they only partially dissociate into [H 3 O] + cations and R−CO − 2 anions in neutral aqueous solution. For example, at room temperature, in a 1- molar solution of acetic acid , only 0.001% of the acid are dissociated (i.e. 10 −5 moles out of 1 mol).
Most compounds considered to be Lewis acids require an activation step prior to formation of the adduct with the Lewis base. Complex compounds such as Et 3 Al 2 Cl 3 and AlCl 3 are treated as trigonal planar Lewis acids but exist as aggregates and polymers that must be degraded by the Lewis base. [10] A simpler case is the formation of adducts ...
Mineral acids range from superacids (such as perchloric acid) to very weak ones (such as boric acid). Mineral acids tend to be very soluble in water and insoluble in organic solvents. Mineral acids are used in many sectors of the chemical industry as feedstocks for the synthesis of other chemicals, both organic and inorganic.
