Salt: Acidic, Basic Or Neutral

K(H2O)6+

I thought K was always a spectator, so how would it be neutral?

The question asks: is this salt acidic, basic or neutral?
K(H2O)6+

How should I try to solve this?

It is not a salt, so either the question doesn't make sense or you are not able to reproduce it correctly.

Perhaps it asks about the salts containing this ion in general.
