This is what I was able to find out: (pə′tas·ē·əm ′sör′bāt) (organic chemistry) C6H7KO2 A crystalline compound, more soluble in water than in alcohol; decomposes above 270°C; used to inhibit mold and yeast growth in food. (It is said to be a mild preservative used in food and vitamins and as a yeast and mold inhibitor in wine making.)

Is vitamin k and potassium the same thing?

Although they may have the same signature, they are not the same. Vitamin K is per definition, an organic compound, thus, has a polyatomic structure in contrast with potassium (K2) which consists solely of potassium atoms bonded with each other... metallically. Potassium is not a compound, but a simple alkaline metal, which can combine with nonmetals to form compounds, like KCl (potassium chloride), K2O (potassium oxide) K2SO4 (potassium sulphate) and many more others. Not sure about the solubility points.
