Answered in your previous post.
I would correct you on the carbon dioxide. That carbon(2) oxide technically means carbon(II) oxide and that means carbon with a valence of 2; however, CO2 has carbon with a valence of 4. Carbon dioxide should be called carbon dioxide and should be written as CO2. As a personal thought, I believe potassium carbonate is the correct name for K2CO3.
