When potassium carbonate is reacted with alkyl halide, the acidic property of the alkyl halide due to alpha carbons and potassium carbonate being base undergoes acid-base reaction. The lone pair of electrons from the electronegative oxygen of carbonate ion takes up hydrogen from the alkyl halide.
As a result, the halogen group becomes free electronegative ion and alkene is formed. Potassium reacts with the free ions forming potassium bicarbonate and potassium halide.
