Potassium sulfate is neither base nor acid - it is a salt. You could get it by mixing something like potassium hydroxide (a base) with sulfuric acid and allowing the neutralization reaction to occur. Since it is actually often produce by reacting potassium chloride with sulfuric acid to get potassium sulfate and HCl (aka hydrogen chloride, aka hydrochloric acid when dissolved in water) you might expect it to be contaminated with some residual acid.

Is potassium acidic or basic?

As the elemental metal it is neither basic nor acidic. However, when combined with oxygen ,as potassium oxide (K2O) , then K2O is a BASE. Since both the metal 'K' and the base 'K2O' will dissolve in water to form the ALKALI Potassium hydroxide (KOH) NB An Alkali is a soluble base.


Does potassium acid or base?

Potassium itself is a metal and does not have acidic or basic properties. However, when potassium combines with other elements, it can form compounds that may be acidic or basic. For example, potassium hydroxide (KOH) is a strong base, while potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) can act as a weak acid. The acidity or basicity depends on the specific compound rather than potassium itself.
