univerkov | January 18, 2021 | education

K2CO3 is a salt formed by a strong base and a weak acid; therefore, the hydrolysis reaction proceeds along the anion:

First stage (ionic equation):
2K + + CO32- + HOH ⇄ K + + HCO3- + K + + OH-

Second stage (ionic equation):
K + + HCO3- + HOH ⇄ H2CO3 + K + + OH-
