Potassium is usually a spectator ion, and has no real effect in most solutions.
Carbonate ions, however, are a conjugate base of carbonic acid. Its properties, measured in terms of its acid dissociation constant, results in the formation of this acid. However, the protons which react must come from somewhere, and are thus removed frm the solution. This lowers the concentration of hydronium and therefore the pH increases, making it (more) basic (than it was before).
K2CO3, potassium carbonate, is a salt that is basic in nature. It forms a basic solution when dissolved in water because it releases hydroxide ions which can accept protons to form water.
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.
The net ionic equation for K2CO3 is: 2K+ (aq) + CO3^2- (aq) → K2CO3 (s) This equation shows the dissociation of potassium ions and carbonate ions in aqueous solution to form solid potassium carbonate.
K2CO3 (Potassium carbonate) is a base. It will react with acids via the following equation: K2CO3 + 2H+ ==> CO2 + H2O + 2K+ The reaction will actually produce water (and CO2 gas) as products
I believe it should be a basic solution... When you have metals with a weak acid's anion, you receive basic solution in water.... HClO2, chlorous Acid, is a weak acid. The Potassium, K an alkali metal, is now where the H+ was, making it KClO2 and that acts as a base in water

The water solution is neutral.

The solution formed will be basic in nature. This is because of the formation of NH(4)OH which is alkaline.
Acidic oxides react with water to form acids, while basic oxides react with water to form bases. Acidic oxides have a higher concentration of oxygen ions, leading to a more acidic solution when dissolved in water. Basic oxides have a higher concentration of metal ions, resulting in a more basic solution when dissolved in water.
No, it will form a basic solution of Sodium Hydroxide as per the following equation. Na2O + H2O ---> 2NaOH As the solution will have OH- ions so it will be basic. Na2O is a basic oxide and basic oxide dissolve in water to form bases( here NaOH). Acidic oxides dissolves in water to form acids. Alkali metal(group 1 of periodic table) oxides are always basic oxides, but all metal oxides may not be basic( some transition metal oxides are acidic).
Blowing into a dilute basic solution with a straw introduces carbon dioxide from your breath, which reacts with water to form carbonic acid. The carbonic acid then reacts with the hydroxide ions in the basic solution to form bicarbonate ions. This reaction decreases the pH of the solution, making it less basic.
The balanced chemical equation for potassium hydroxide (KOH) reacting with carbon dioxide (CO2) to form potassium carbonate (K2CO3) and water (H2O) is: 2 KOH + CO2 → K2CO3 + H2O
