K2CO4 is a misspelling of the correct formula for potassium carbonate, which is K2CO3. This is a white salt that can be dissolved in water to form a alkaline solution by dissolution of the molecule into potassium ions (K+) and carbonate ions (CO3 2-). Note that CO4 would have 4 oxygen bonds to the carbon, which is not a very stable molecule and would not have a 2- charge.
