Acids help? Science quiz tomorrow..?
Hydrochloric acid is found in a humans stomach. Usually it is called Gastric Acid.
Lactic acid builds up in the muscles. It is a waste product of anaerobic glycolysis (The production of ATP without oxygen).
Formic Acid is called "methanoic acid" in systematic terms. It has other names too such as fomic acid, aminic acid and hydrogen carbolyxic acid. It is the simplest form of carbolyxic acid. Its molecular formula is HCOOH. Formic acid is mainly found in natural surroundings, especially in the bites and stings of bees, ants and other insects of the order of hymenoptera. It is derived from the Latin word "Formica" meaning ant which refers to it early isolation by the refinement of insect bodies. Its molecular shape is planar. Its solubility in water is miscible.
Citric acid is the acid found in citrus fruits
Tartaric acid is found in many plants, e.g., grapes; this natural acid is chiefly the dextrorotatory d-tartaric acid, called also d-2,3-dihydroxysuccinic acid or l-2,3-dihydroxybutanedioic acid. This form can be partially converted to the others by heating it with an aqueous alkali, e.g., potassium hydroxide.
Tartaric acids can be synthesized from maleic acids or fumaric acids by reaction with aqueous potassium permanganate.

Hydrochloric acid is found naturally in our stomach, it help in killing microbes and help in activating enzymes
lactic acid is formed from lactose present in milk. You can find lactic acid in yogurt
citric acid is found in citrus, lemon, lime etc
tartaric acid is found in tamarid
however i'm not sure about methanoic acid, good luck for quiz and goodbye x

1) Hydrochloric acid is found in your stomach. It's also a very common acid that can be found in labs.
2) Lactic acid is actually formed during anaerobic respiration (which happens during short running races, which explains why some runners look so much in pain after the race - there is lactic acid in their muscles... they didn't get enough oxygen while running)
3) Methanoic acid is a type of carboxylic acid and can be found in bee stings.
4) Citric acid can be found in citrus fruits such as lemons.
5) Tartaric acid is found in grapes.
hope this helps
