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
there are organic acids and inorganic acids
The molecular formula of acetic acid is CH3COOH.
It is an organic acid.
Acetylsalicylic acid is an organic compound.

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.
H2CO3 is an inorganic compound. It is known as carbonic acid and is formed by the dissolution of carbon dioxide (CO2) in water.
Muriatic acid, which is another name for hydrochloric acid, is considered an inorganic compound. It is a strong mineral acid composed of hydrogen and chlorine and is not derived from living organisms.
Phosphoric acid is a mineral acid and is not considered organic. It is typically produced from inorganic sources such as phosphorus minerals or by treating phosphorus compounds.

organic
Nitric acid is an inorganic compound; no carbon in the molecule.
Yes, sulfuric acid is an inorganic acid. It is a strong mineral acid with the chemical formula H2SO4 and is commonly used in various industrial processes and chemical reactions.
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.
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.
H2CO3 is an inorganic compound. It is known as carbonic acid and is formed by the dissolution of carbon dioxide (CO2) in water.
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.
An organic compound is any compound containing carbon atoms, while an inorganic compound is any compound that does not contain carbon atoms. Organic compounds are typically associated with living organisms and are more complex, while inorganic compounds are simpler and have a wider range of elements other than carbon.
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an organic compound because it contains carbon atoms in its structure.
No, calcium gluconate is an organic compound. It is a calcium salt of gluconic acid, which is derived from glucose.
Phosphoric acid is a mineral acid and is not considered organic. It is typically produced from inorganic sources such as phosphorus minerals or by treating phosphorus compounds.
