Question

Microbes can be used in the synthesis of chemicals such as $HCl$ and $HN{O}_3$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

While microbes are being used for synthesis of several organic compounds, strong inorganic acids such as $HClandHN{O}_3$ are usually prepared by chemical synthesis. Microbes are not effective in the sythesis of these highly corrosive acids.
