What quantity of potassium phosphate, in grams, is required to prepare 500.0 ml of solution where you the concentration of potassium is 0.100 M.

I did this problem and I got 10.6 grams but my computer says I did wrong. what steps am I missing. I'm confused now because I converted potassium to potassium phosphate.
