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.

Both. Some inorganic acids include: HCL (hydrochloric acid), H2SO4 (sulfuric acid), HNO3 (nitric acid). However there are quite a few acids that are organic too: acetic acid (CH3CO2H) - found in vinegar; formic acid (HCO2H); and acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). The inorganic acids are stronger acids (i.e. have a lower pH) than organic acids.

Hydroiodic acid is inorganic because it does not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, which are characteristic of organic compounds. It is made up of hydrogen and iodine atoms.
