Tartaric acid is officially named: 2*,3*-dihydroxybutanedioic acid,
Structural formula HOOC-C*H(OH)-C*H(OH)-COOH
The superscripted '*' denotes for three stereoisomeric differences:
The 2R,3R isomer (or L(+)-tartaric acid)is the natural most occurring one, while 2R,3S-tartaric acid is the socalled meso-tartaric acid because it is identical with its 'mirrored' 2S,3R-form.
This stereo-isomeric problem was solved by the first practicing biotechnological engeneer of the french wine industry, the great Louis Pasteur.

on heating the tartaric acid, the tartaric acid forms a keto acid which is known as pyruvic acid C4H6O6 ------KHSO4/heating------> C3H4O3 (tartaric acid) (Pyruvic acid)
Malic acid, mandelic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid
It is an acid, of course. That is why it is called tartaric acid.
Tartaric acid is present there. Its also present in grapes. Tartaric acid is present there. Its also present in grapes.
Yes, Tartaric acid is a compound.

Type your answer here... yes. tartaric acid is an organic acid
No, tartaric acid is not baking powder.

Tartaric acid is not dangerous. It occurs naturally in many foods, such as grapes, bananas, and tamarind. Wine also contains tartaric acid.
Yes it contains Tartaric Acid
