### acid:

Sulfonic acid
* are close relatives of the more familiar sulfuric acid.
* are used as catalysts in esterification, alkylation and condensation reactions
  - in many detergents
  - acidic due to the hydrogen atom, stronger than a carboxylic acid
  - one of the most important organo sulfur compounds in organic synthesis

### acid:

Sulfuric acid
* can affect the body if it is inhaled or if it comes in contact with the eyes or skin
  - burn clothing and the skin and even cause blindness
  - cause severe deep skin burns and permanent loss of vision
  - form new cloud nuclei, from which new cloud droplets can emerge
  - then release metals contained within the rock
* comes from egg yolks.
* is acid
  - chemical compounds
  - inorganic compounds
  - liquids
  - part of automobile batteries
  - polyprotic acid
  - strong acid
  - toxic substances

Trichloroacetic acid
* is carboxylic acid
* relatively strong acid that forms deliquescent crystals.

### acid:

Uric acid
* Most uric acid produced in the body is excreted by the kidneys.
* accumulates from eating too much meat.
* appears to be nearly completely filtered by glomerular membrane.
* can also crystallize in the kidneys and other soft tissues, causing damage
  - deposit in other tissue
  - cause joint pain and lead to gout if an excess builds up
  - crystallize into stones when the urine is persistently acid
* is accumulated by the breakdown of DNA in the diet and normal breakdown of body cells
  - an indicator of kidney function
  - another waste product removed from the blood by the kidneys
  - basically a purine, and is the most expensive nitrogenous waste product to produce
  - cleared from the blood by the kidney
  - derived from the breakdown of purine bases
  - dissolved in the blood and is excreted through the kidneys into the urine
  - excreted as a semisolid with feces
  - filtered at the glomerulus and is subject to tubular reabsorption
* is formed from ammonia mostly in the liver and to some extent in the kidneys
  - the breakdown of substances called purines
  - in reactions that degrade nucleic acids
  - when the body uses proteins
  - insoluble and can safely build up in the allantois
  - left to mix with feces, which are then excreted
  - one of the most effective water-soluble antioxidants in the blood
  - only slightly soluble in water and is insoluble in alcohol and ether
  - organic acid
  - precipitated out of water a
  - pretty much insoluble and forms a white chalky solid
* is produced by the liver and is normally expelled in the urine
  - molybdenum activated enzyme xanthine oxidase
  - during metabolism, when the body breaks down proteins
  - mainly in the liver and is excreted by the kidneys
* is produced when purines are digested and processed in the body
  - the body breaks down a chemical called purine
  - quantified by ultraviolet spectrophotometry
  - quite insoluble and so can be excreted using only a small amount of water
* is released in hypoxic conditions
  - into the system in amounts necessary to break proteins down into amino acids
  - synthesized by the insect's tissues and released in soluble form into the hemocoel
* is the creamy white portion of the dropping
  - culprit
  - end of purine metabolism in birds, reptiles, insects and primates
* is the end product of purine metabolism and is mostly produced in the liver
  - metabolism in man
  - the metabolism of a food component called purine
  - end-product of purine catabolism
  - relatively water-insoluble end product of purine nucleotide metabolism
  - toxic, too

Usnic acid
* has selective antibiotic qualities which can partly deactivate viruses.
* is chemical compounds
  - poorly water soluble, so ethyl alcohol is used to produce a tincture
* natural mitochondrial uncoupling agent.

### acidosis:

Diabetic acidosis
* is acidosis
* requires immediate hospitalisation for treatment with fluid and insulin.
