    0.15M K₂CO₃ has the highest concentration of K⁺ ions.

    concentration of K⁺ ions in 0.15M K₂CO₃ :

    (0.15 moles K₂CO₃ / 1 L) x (2 moles K⁺ ions / 1 mole K₂CO₃)

    = 0.30 moles K⁺ ions / L

    = 0.30 M

    -----

    concentration of K⁺ ions in 0.20M KCl :

    (0.20 moles KCl / 1 L) x (1 moles K⁺ ions / 1 mole KCl)

    = 0.20 moles K⁺ ions / L

    = 0.20 M

    -----

    concentration of K⁺ ions in 0.08M K₃PO₄ :

    (0.08 moles K₃PO₄ / 1 L) x (3 moles K⁺ ions / 1 mole K₃PO₄)

    = 0.24 moles K⁺ ions / L

    = 0.24 M
