It is basic.
Potassium carbonate (K2CO3) is a basic salt because it contains the carbonate ion (CO3^2-) which can accept protons to form hydroxide ions in water. This makes the salt alkaline or basic in nature.
Considering that CO3, or carbonic ACID, this substance would be considered an acid. * actually, whoever wrote this is wrong. CO3-2 is the conjugate base of a weak acid (HCO3-, bicarbonate) K2CO3 is actually a base. and CO3, isn't called carbonic acid, it is called carbonate.
