  1. When potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) dissolves in water, it dissociates into its constituent ions. The ions present in the solution are:

    2K+(aq),CO32(aq)\text{2K}^+ (\text{aq}), \text{CO}_3^{2-} (\text{aq})

  2. When potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) dissolves in water, it dissociates into its constituent ions. The dissociation can be represented by the following chemical equation:

    K2CO32K++CO32\text{K}_2\text{CO}_3 \rightarrow 2\text{K}^+ + \text{CO}_3^{2-}

    K2CO32K++CO32−

    Thus, the ions present in a solution of potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) are:

    1. Potassium ions (K+\text{K}^+K+)
    2. Carbonate ions (CO32\text{CO}_3^{2-}CO32−)
