The solution of 0.026 K2SO4 has the greatest concentration of K+.

Through the dissociation equation of each compound we can see that:

0.013M K3PO4


K_3PO_4\text{ }\rightarrow3K^++PO^(-3)_4

0.013M 3x(0.013)

So, the K+ concentration is 0.039M.

0.026M K2SO4


K_2SO_4\text{ }\rightarrow2K^++SO^(-2)_4

0.026 2x(0.026)

Here the K+ concentration is 0.052M.

0.032M KNO3


\text{KNO}_3\text{ }\rightarrow K^++NO^-_3

0.032 0.032

The concentration of K+ is 0.032M.

0.014M KBr


\text{KBr }\rightarrow K^++Br^-

0.014 0.014

Finally, here the K+ concentration is 0.014M.
