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.
