Answer : The correct answer is- citric acid and acetic acid.
Citric acid [tex](C_6H_8O_7)[/tex] is a weak organic acid that is found naturally in different types of citrus fruits such as grapes, orange, berries, lemon.
It is used in food to give sour flavour and as a preservative ( such as in gems, pickles) to prevent the growth of bacteria.
Acetic acid [tex](CH_3COOH)[/tex] is a second simplest carboxylic acid that is a weak organic acid. It is found naturally in fruits such as grapes, pineapple, strawberries. It is safe to eat if used in proper manner ( such as dilute acetic acid, which is vinegar, is used as preservative in food).
Answer: citric acid , acetic acid
Explanation: Acids are substances which when dissolved in water give [tex]H^+[/tex] ions.
The acids are of two types based on their origin:
1. Mineral acids: are inorganic compounds composed of different chemical element combinations. They are synthetically produced in labs and are usually strong. Example: [tex]HCl[/tex], [tex]H_2SO_4[/tex]
2. Organic acids: are organic compounds essentially composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms. They are found in nature and are generally weak. [tex]CH_3COOH[/tex].
Citric acid [tex]C_6H_8O_7[/tex] is found in citrus fruits and acetic acid [tex]CH_3COOH[/tex] is found in vinegar and are safe to eat.
