Infobox references

Titanic acid is a general name for a family of chemical compounds of the elements titanium, hydrogen, and oxygen, with the general formula [TiOx(OH)4-2x]n. Some simple titanic acids have been identified, such as metatitanic acid (H2TiO3), and orthotitanic acid (H4TiO4). Orthotitanic acid is a white salt-like powder under normal conditions.[1]

The amphoteric compound is insoluble in water. Alkali metal and alkaline earth metal hydroxides react with it to form the corresponding salts, most notably strontium titanate.
