    Check the periodic table.

    In this case both are the same, as K can present itself both as a pure element and an ion. But since electrons don't have enough mass, if you take one off from the original K°, the atomic mass won't change in the first two decimal places.

    So, the answer for both is 39.09>> 39.10 g/mol or amu.

    39.10 : atomic mass

    39.10:molar mass of K

    well, it's written on every periodic table.

    it's 39.10 for both, already corrected for natural isotopic distribution.
