To determine which compound among the given options is inorganic, let's review the nature of inorganic and organic compounds. Organic compounds typically contain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds, whereas inorganic compounds often do not.
Now, let's analyze each compound:
A. [tex]\( C_6H_{12}O_6 \)[/tex]
- This is glucose, an organic compound with multiple C-H bonds.
B. [tex]\( KH_2PO_4 \)[/tex]
- This is potassium dihydrogen phosphate. It does not contain any C-H bonds.
C. [tex]\( CH_3COOH \)[/tex]
- This is acetic acid, an organic compound with C-H bonds.
D. [tex]\( C_2H_6 \)[/tex]
- This is ethane, another organic compound with C-H bonds.
E. [tex]\( C_2H_5OH \)[/tex]
- This is ethanol, also an organic compound with C-H bonds.
Given this information, the inorganic compound among them is:
B. [tex]\( KH_2PO_4 \)[/tex]
So, the correct answer is B. [tex]\( KH_2PO_4 \)[/tex].
