Solution
A weak organic acid is formic acid.
Explanation:
Formic acid (HCOOH) is a carboxylic acid, which is an organic compound and a weak acid because it only partially ionises in water. In contrast, nitric acid, sulphuric acid, and hydrochloric acid are strong mineral acids that completely dissociate in water.
