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
