All inorganic acids have a formula that begins with H (HCl, HNO3, H2SO4,etc). Organic acids (acetic acid, oxalic acid, etc) generally do not. "What do you do with" them is rather vague. They all undergo similar neutralization reactions. Naming them depends on what anions the hydrogen is combined with (hydrochloric - HCl vs nitric - HNO3).
