In the laboratory, it may be used as a milddrying agent where other drying agents, such as calcium chloride and magnesium sulfate, may be incompatible. It is not suitable for acidic compounds, but can be useful for drying an organic phase if one has a small amount of acidic impurity.

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.
