potassium + oxygen --> potassium oxide
The question is not quite clear. If it is meant to mean "Does citric acid cause vomiting?" The answer would usually be no. Citric acid is the acid found in citrus fruit, such as oranges and lemons. The acidity would not cause vomiting, as the stomach uses hydrochloric acid to digest food, and is able to cope with quite strong concentrations. The citric acid could cause vomiting if too much was consumed at once, but even water can cause vomiting if taken in very large quantities.

Going to the bathroom a lot causes the loss of potasium. Being low in potassium could be a part of gout, but it is these other foods that cause the loss of potassium. Bananas, white potatoes and strawberries are very high in potassium. So eat those. Cherry's, sweet or sour are also very good at curing gout.

Food poisoning can cause vomiting.
The most common cause of vomiting is infection. Some germs may enter your stomach along with the food that you eating.

Thus, anything that upsets the stomach may cause vomiting.
