K2CO3
K3PO4
KH2PO4 or K2HPO4
KC2H3O2
carbonate has -2 charge, balance with two K+1
Pohsphate has -3 charge, balance with three K+1
hydrogen phosphate (HPO4) has a -2 charge, balance with two K+1
dihydrogen phosphate (H2PO4) has a -1 charge, balance with one K+1
acetate has a -1 charge, balance with one K+1
