About Potassium Carbonate
- Potassium Carbonate is a base.
- Potassium Carbonate reacts with acids to produce a Potassium salt, Carbon Dioxide and Water.
- Hydrochloric Acid + Potassium Carbonate → Potassium Chloride + Carbon Dioxide + Water
- 2HCl + K2CO3 → 2KCl + CO2 + H2O
- Sulphuric Acid + Potassium Carbonate → Potassium Sulphate + Carbon Dioxide + Water
- H2SO4 + K2CO3 → K2SO4 + CO2 + H2O
- Nitric Acid + Potassium Carbonate → Potassium Nitrate + Carbon Dioxide + Water
- 2HNO3 + K2CO3 → 2KNO3< + CO2 + H2O
