>From the _Darkroom Cookbook_ (I love this book) about Potassium
Carbonate:

It does not give any substitution for Potassium Carbonate, except
anhydrous to monohydrated
BUT--

USES: Since Potassium Carbonate is more soluble than sodium carbonate,
it is used in concentrated solutions where an alkali is needed.
Potassium Carbonate can be substituted for Sodium Carbonate as an alkali
accelerator in developers...Thirteen parts by weight are equal to ten
parts by weight of sodium carbonate.
