Previous answer from an "organic chemistry versus inorganic chemistry" point of view:
I'm going to go with organic because most chemical's are formed from things found on the earth or from the earth so basically it's either both or organic :)
My answer from an "organically certified or not" point of view:
Well, it depends. Like with most things organic, you can't just look at the chemical, you have to look at how it is used, and how it is made.
If it is made naturally (by fermentation) as in vinegar, then it could potentially be organic. If it is made chemically, then it is not organic. Glacial acetic acid is not organic. Then also look at how it is proposed to be used. If it is used in an organically approved way, and is made organically, then it is organic.
Okay the person above has their own opinions and reasons based on what they think is correct BUT based on what "scientist" have "discovered" and "proved", An inorganic compound when created no matter what is NOT suppose to have hydrogen atoms in the compound..... therefore, any compound with Hydrogen in it like above stands to reason that they are organic.
Acetic acid is CH3COOH, two hydrogen atoms, You draw the conclusions yourself. :D

Is nucleic acid an organic or inorganic compound?
organic
Is Lactic Acid an organic or inorganic compound?
Lactic acid is an organic compound. It is one of the four ending products of fermentation.
Is benzoic acid an organic or inorganic compound?
The formula for benzoic acid is C7H6O2. As a rule, compounds that are cheifly variants of C, H, and O are organic, as is benzoic acid.
Is phosphoric acid organic?
Phosphoric acid contains no carbon and is therefore an inorganic compound.
Is N2H2 an organic or inorganic compound?
inorganic
Is Acid organic or inorganic compound?
there are organic acids and inorganic acids
Is nucleic acid inorganic or organic compound?
organic
Is nucleic acid an organic or inorganic compound?
organic
Is Lactic Acid an organic or inorganic compound?
Lactic acid is an organic compound. It is one of the four ending products of fermentation.
What is nitric acid organic or non organic?
Nitric acid is an inorganic compound; no carbon in the molecule.
Is sulfuric acid an inorganic acid?
Sulfuric acid has no hydrocarbon chains. It has no organic functional groups and therefore it is an inorganic compound.
Is nonanoic acid ionic or covalent?
this an organic compound so it is covalent but acid is always covalent compound either organic or inorganic.
Is benzoic acid an organic or inorganic compound?
The formula for benzoic acid is C7H6O2. As a rule, compounds that are cheifly variants of C, H, and O are organic, as is benzoic acid.
Is hydroiodic acid inorganic or organic?
inorganic. Organic acids end in the formula -COOH like ethanoic (acetic) acid CH3COOH. Inorganic acids begin with H like Hydrochloric HCl Nitric HNO3 Sulphuric H2SO4 This is a convention in writing, but pretty widely used.
Is vinegar an organic or inorganic compound substance?
The ingredient in vinegar that gives the characteristic taste and odor is ethanoic acid (acetic acid). This is an organic compound with the formula: CH3.COOH In vinegar, ethanoic acid makes up only some 5% of the total, the rest being mainly water, which is inorganic. So, vinegar is dilute acetic acid and is an organic compound substance.
How is an organic compound different from an organic compound?
Do you mean how is an organic compound different from an inorganic compound? If so, an organic compound has carbon, an inorganic compound does not need to have carbon.
Is the compond NH4 organic or inorganic?
NH4 is not a compound. It is an organic part of a compound which could be organic or inorganic.
