No; organic compounds have at least one carbon (C) atom. MORE... however KCl is permited for use in organic farming as it is not produced in a man made factory. this point is part of the problematic definition of organic. The definition of organic in chemistry is NOT the same as it is in common culture -- where it generally refers to farming practices which do not use man-made pesticides or fertilizers. However, the definition in chemistry has nothing to do with that and is related to whether or not the compound is carbon based.
See the Related Questions for more information about the chemical definition or the word organic.

Potassium carbonate should not be used as a drying agent for some organic compounds would it be better for use in drying an ether solution containing an acid RCOOH or a base RNH2and why?
NH2 potassium carbonate itself is basic so it will make water and a salt if mixed with acid NH2 potassium carbonate itself is basic so it will make water and a salt if mixed with acid
What is the ionic compound K2CO3?
K2CO4 is a misspelling of the correct formula for potassium carbonate, which is K2CO3. This is a white salt that can be dissolved in water to form a alkaline solution by dissolution of the molecule into potassium ions (K+) and carbonate ions (CO3 2-). Note that CO4 would have 4 oxygen bonds to the carbon, which is not a very stable molecule and would not have a 2- charge.
Correct ionic name for potash?

What is closely related to calcium carbonate?

What are the best loamy fertilizers?
Carbonate limestone, compost, organic mulch, potassium sulfate, rock phosphate and white clover are the best loamy fertilizers. Loamy soils have proper air, moisture and nutrient movement. Carbonate limestone may be added for soil pH management, compost and organic mulch for structure and texture and potassium sulfate, rock phosphate and white clover for potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen stability.
