Potassium and calcium are both in period 4 of the Periodic Table because they both have 4 electrons in their outermost energy level. This means they both have the same number of protons and the same number of electrons, which puts them in the same period. Additionally, they both have the same number of shells, which is why they are both in period 4.

What is the chemical reaction between potassium sulphate and calcium sulphate?

This reaction would not take place, as potassium and calcium are both metals and cannot bond with each other. The pattern of this reaction (if it were to take place) is double replacement, meaning that the he two cations would switch. In this equation nothing would happen because the anions (sulfate) are both the same.
