K2CO3 (Potassium carbonate) is a base. It will react with acids via the following equation: K2CO3 + 2H+ ==> CO2 + H2O + 2K+ The reaction will actually produce water (and CO2 gas) as products

K2CO3, also known as potassium carbonate, is a basic drying agent. It will not effectively remove water from acids because it will react with acids to form water and potassium salts. This reaction can actually increase the moisture content in the mixture, rather than removing it.
