Depends if you're from Kazahkstan or not.

If not, you won't need that much.

Hope that Helps!

He's right in that it depends on your lifestyle. If you drink a descent amount of water each day, you will not need as much potassium as someone who drinks soda all the time. If you use a water pill, or you sweat for a long period of time, on a regular basis, then most likely you will need more potassium to supplement the potassium that is being flushed out. I am diabetic, and use a water pill to help keep fluid retention at a minimum, therefore, I also have to take a 750mg potassium pill to replenish my potassium loss, or I get charlie horses (severely painful) in my sleep. Basically, if you drink as much water as you flush out, you will have the necessary potassium that your body requires.

How many atoms of potassium need to react with nitrogen in order to produce 2.0 moles of potassium nitride?

To produce potassium nitride (K₃N), the balanced chemical equation is 6 K + N₂ → 2 K₃N. This indicates that 6 moles of potassium are required to produce 2 moles of potassium nitride. Therefore, to produce 2.0 moles of K₃N, you would need 6 moles of potassium.
