Unless the structure is known, it is best to put them in alphabetically or by electronegativity. Thus, alphabetically, it would be C8H5KO5 (K is potassium) By electronegavity, the formula is KH5C8O4. (Remember, the numbers are subscripts and go underneath.)

you can do them in any order and use the short form (periodic table form)
and go like this
O4C8H5P1
double check the short form for potassium im not sure if its just P

K, H5, O4, C8. Is that what you want?
