Clicking on the "more info" = Hazardous Chemical Database on the Properties panel (= about Safety)doesn't codunct to Potassium carbonat! Please, can you correct this programmation error? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.227.214.66 ( talk) 08:57, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
The article says that cream of tartar is another name for potassium carbonate, but the link redirects to potassium bitartrate. Which is right? 74.104.224.144 21:48, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Is it worth mentioning that potassium carbonate cannot be made by the Solvay process due to the high solubility of potassium bicarbonate? Although I can't find any direct references stating this, I am almost sure this is the case. Chris Barile 23:38, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

It makes no sense to me that this substance could be highly flammable if it has a red zero in its safety box. Evercat ( talk) 18:50, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Directly under the "Applications" heading, the substance Pearl Ash is referred to as both Pearl Ash and Pearlash in a single sentence. Please could this be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.86.124.46 ( talk) 12:58, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Is this stuff toxic? I just discovered some leaking NiMH batteries, and I'm sure some of the crystals got onto the carpet. Is it OK if a baby crawls around and ends up getting some of it into his mouth? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.231.150.231 ( talk) 09:28, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
The infobox claims it doesn't boil, but decomposes instead. I can't find any references that agree. Potassium BIcarbonate decomposes, but I'm pretty sure potassium carbonate (like sodium carbonate) will boil. Unfortunately, I don't have the gear to test this theory, so I'm hoping someone else will double-check this data. Riventree ( talk) 11:22, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
The formula showed on the top right image is wrong. There is a double bound between O==O- whereas it should be C==O-. Can anybody fix this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Walabit ( talk • contribs) 09:29, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
At present, the History section states:
"Potassium carbonate was first identified in 1742 by Antonio Campanella … "
This statement was added on 22 December 2005. This claim is almost certainly false.
I am therefore deleting this claim. If someone can substantiate it, they can restore it. VexorAbVikipædia ( talk) 07:43, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
It seems odd to me that the reference [2] for this claim is a paper on the solubility of potassium carbonate in methanol. Can somebody find a paper on solubility in ethanol? Or should the claim be changed to (insoluble in methanol)? DABurbank ( talk) 21:47, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
Is the part Use of potassium carbonate must be limited to a certain amount to prevent harm
true? For me it suggest higher toxicity than I have found otherwise:
