What is the chemical formula Potassium bisulfite?

Bisulphite is HSO3, otherwise known as hydrogen sulfite. This has a -1 charge, therefore there is 1 K+ needed to balance this. The chemical formula is thus, KHSO3.


Can you use sodium hydroxide as asubstitution of potassium hydroxide in activation process?

In most instances, sodium hydroxide is sufficiently close in chemical properties to potassium hydroxide to make each one a substitute for the other. There are some exceptions, however, and more details about the "activation process" under consideration would be needed to give a more detailed answer.
