Latley, I have been trying to conduct an experiment dealing with Potassium Carbonate and water. But first I need to get everything down on paper. So, what is the reaction between water that is 145 degrees and 30 grams of Potassium Carbonate? Would it help if I put the PC in the water and then heated it?

Mixing mass and temperature is nonsensical.

145 degrees of what?

Do you know what dissociation is?
