Organic Acid

These are organic compounds, which can act as acids. Organic acids essentially contain hydrogen and carbon with another element/s. Most common organic acids are acetic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, formic acid, etc. These acids have a –COOH group. Sometimes organic compounds having –OH, -SH groups can act as acids too. For example, alcohols have acidic properties. Acetylene can also donate a proton showing acidic properties. The hydrogens attach to alpha carbon of the aldehydes, and ketones are also acidic protons. Often, organic acids are weak acids and partially dissociate in water.

Inorganic Acid

These are also known as mineral acids, and they are derived from mineral sources. Inorganic acids release protons when dissolved in water. There can be strong inorganic acids like HCl, HNO3, H2SO4 and weak inorganic acids like HCN or H2S.
