  4. Organic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_acid

    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 ...

  6. Organic mineral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_mineral

    An organic compound is any compound containing carbon, aside from some simple ones discovered before 1828. There are three classes of organic mineral: hydrocarbons (containing just hydrogen and carbon), salts of organic acids, and miscellaneous. Organic minerals are rare, and tend to have specialized settings such as fossilized cacti and bat ...

    Aqua fortis /spirit of nitre – nitric acid, formed by 2 parts saltpetre in 1 part (pure) oil of vitriol (sulfuric acid). (Historically, this process could not have been used, as 98% oil of vitriol was not available.) Aqua ragia /spirit of turpentine/oil of turpentine/gum turpentine – turpentine, formed by the distillation of pine tree resin.

  8. Mineral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral

    The reaction of acid with carbonates, most commonly found as the polymorph calcite and aragonite (CaCO 3), relates to the dissolution and precipitation of the mineral, which is a key in the formation of limestone caves, features within them such as stalactite and stalagmites, and karst landforms. Carbonates are most often formed as biogenic or ...

  9. Organic base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_base

    Most organic bases are considered to be weak.Many factors can affect the strength of the compounds. One such factor is the inductive effect.A simple explanation of the term would state that electropositive atoms (such as carbon groups) attached in close proximity to the potential proton acceptor have an "electron-releasing" effect, such that the positive charge acquired by the proton acceptor ...
