What would be correct ration of potassium to oxygen to create a neutral compound?

With plenty of oxygen or even air around, the potassium will take what it needs, no more, no less. But I wouldn't like to be around, the combination is potentially explosive. Two atoms of potassium combine with 1 atom of oxygen so if you look up a table of atomic weights you can figure out the weight proportions easily. But beware, if you try weighing potassium in air it will already be going for the oxygen in the air, so you'll be kidding yourself.

Write formula for ionic compound that forms when potassium reacts with chlorine?
Potassium reacts with Chlorine to create Pottassium Chloride or KCl
When naming acids you can consider them to be combinations of?
of anions connected to as many H+ ions as are necessary to create an electrically neutral compound.
What are compounds of the element potassium?
potassium can make alot of compounds...i know a few... 1. potassium chloride (a healthier alternative to table salt/sodium chloride) 2. potassium nitrate 3. potassium hydroxide (produced when reacted with water)
How do you create a separate compound?
i don't know? How do you create a separate compound?
How do you decompose potassium metabisulfite and create solid potassium oxide?
Heat it to 190 C.
What is the formula for an ionic compound that contains the elements magnesium and chlorine?
Magnesium ions have a 2+ charge, while chloride ions each have 1- charge. In order to cancel out the charges to create a stable, neutral compound, the formula must be MgCl2.
Compared with the neutral atoms involved in the formation of an ionic compound the crystal lattice that results is?
The crystal lattice that is formed has a lower potential energy than the reactants. This is because energy is expended to create the ionic compound.
What is neutral word?
Neutral terms are terms that are neutral. Therefore, they create neutral outcomes when they collide with explosive material.I hope this answers your question.
What elements can form together and create a compound with oxygen?
Hydrogen can form together with oxygen and create a compound. H2O
How does potassium react with hydrochloric acid?
Hydrochloric acid evaporates off of potassium sulfate when it's produced. This results because potassium chloride is combined with sulfuric acid to create potassium sulfate.
What do the elements Potassium and Lanthanum and Iodine and Neon create?
Fireworks!
What does a mixture and compound create?
A mess.
