No. K3PO4, potassium phosphate is a salt and it is basic.
The chemical formula for potassium phosphate is K3PO4.
K3PO3 is potassium phosphite.This is not the same as K3PO4 postasium phosphate.
The empirical formula for K3PO4 is K3PO4 itself. This is because the subscripts in the formula (3 for potassium, 1 for phosphorus, and 4 for oxygen) represent the simplest whole-number ratio of the elements in the compound.
Potassium phosphate (K3PO4) contains the following atoms:Potassium (K, from kalium)Phosphorus (P)Oxygen (O)
This compound doesn't exist; probably you think to a potassium phosphate as K3PO4 or another.
K3PO4
K3po4
The reaction of FeSO4 (iron(II) sulfate) with K3PO4 (potassium phosphate) results in the formation of Fe3(PO4)2 (iron(II) phosphate) and K2SO4 (potassium sulfate).
Potassium is K (with a 1+ valence) and the phosphate anion is PO4 (with a 3- valence). Thus, it takes 3 K's for each PO4. The formula for potassium phosphate is K3PO4.
K3PO4 is a salt composed of the potassium ion (K+) and the phosphate ion (PO4^3-). It is not a base as it does not produce hydroxide ions when dissolved in water.
There are 8 atoms in the compound K3PO4, consisting of 3 potassium (K) atoms, 1 phosphorus (P) atom, and 4 oxygen (O) atoms.
