Apples contain malic acid which is considered a weak acid. The pH of malic acid in apples is around 3.0 to 3.5.


Is an apple a strong acid or weak acid?

An apple is a weak acid. It contains natural acids such as malic acid and citric acid, but the concentration of these acids is low compared to stronger acids like sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid.


Is orange juice a strong or weak acid?

Orange juice is a weak acid, with a pH ranging from about 3 to 4. The main acid in orange juice is citric acid, which gives it a tangy flavor.


What happens when malic acid reacts with soap solution?

Malic acid is a weak acid type. Strong acids are acids that completely or almost completely ionize in their solutions while weak acids are not. Most organic acids are weak acids - one of the reasons why living organisms are so stable and do not combust easily. As soaps are usually mixtures of weak Basic/Alkaline and variety of fatty acids. Therefore, they are unlikely to be reactive when mixing with malic acids. However, high acidic solution can be harmful for skin. Generally, soaps range from pH 7 to pH 10.

What makes a strong acid differ from a weak acid?

A strong acid dissociates more completely than a weak acid.


When weak acids react with strong acids?

When weak acids react with strong acids, the strong acid will donate a proton to the weak acid, resulting in the weak acid being protonated. This protonation increases the concentration of the weak acid cation. The conjugate base of the weak acid is formed as a result.


What is differnece in dl-malic acid and malic acid?

There are two different structures of malic acid, an L-isomer and a D-isomer. These two molecules are identical like your left and right hands. While they have the same atoms and bonds, they are not necessarily interchangeable, just as you cannot fit your left hand in a right hand-shaped hole. L-Malic acid is produced naturally in fruits. 90% of the acid in apples is malic acid. When malic acid is produced synthetically, a mixture of the two isomers is obtained which is called DL-malic acid (because it contains both D- and L-malic acid). When you eat DL-malic acid, your body digests the L-malic acid normally (it is part of the Kreb's cycle), but the D-malic acid is excreted in the urine. A 1967 study by the WHO shows evidence that D-malic acid is toxic and causes renal damage. When purchasing malic acid, if it is called "malic acid" it is likely DL-malic acid. If the natural form is desired, purchase specifically L-malic acid.
