Is baking powder organic or inorganic?
Baking powder is inorganic.
Here's why:
* Composition: Baking powder is a mixture of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and one or more acidic ingredients (like tartaric acid or monocalcium phosphate).
* Organic vs. Inorganic: Organic compounds always contain carbon, while inorganic compounds typically do not. The components of baking powder (sodium bicarbonate, tartaric acid, etc.) do not contain carbon in their basic structure.
Therefore, baking powder is classified as an inorganic compound.
