Yes it will. potassium reacts with water to form potassium hydroxide and hydrogen. the reaction is highly exothermic and will explode.
However, potassium can be slowly dissolved by adding very small piece of potassium in water, wait till it dissolves completely and then add the next piece. But should be done with caution.
Group 2 metals (alkaline earth metals), calcium and barium would be examples
Potassium reacts vigorously with water, as it is one of the most reactive alkali metals. When it does, it floats on top of the water, and burns a lilac flame. It also may explode. Fizzing and bubbling will also be seen as hydrogen gas is produced. The potassium reacts with the water to become a hydroxide (potassium hydroxide)
No reaction will occur between Potassium Sulfate and Ammonium Nitrate.
When potassium is set on fire, it burns with a lilac or light purple flame, releasing heat and producing potassium oxide. The reaction is highly exothermic and can be violent if large amounts of potassium are involved. It is essential to handle potassium with extreme caution due to its reactivity with air and water.
Potassium plus Water gives Potassium Hydroxide plus Hydrogen
They explode and combust.
Cesium and Potassium are both elements that explode in Water!
Sodium and potassium are two metals that can explode in water because they react violently with water to produce hydrogen gas. This reaction is highly exothermic, causing the hydrogen gas to ignite and explode.
Potassium metal can react violently with water to produce hydrogen gas. However, it is not recommended to deliberately mix potassium with any specific substance to make it explode, as this can be extremely dangerous and highly unpredictable. Handling and storing potassium and other reactive metals should always be done with great caution and following appropriate safety protocols.
Group 2 metals (alkaline earth metals), calcium and barium would be examples
Pure Potassium (K) will catch fire and may explode upon contact with water or very humid air.

Ceasium will explode and create hydrogen gas and ceasium hydroxide. Ceasium react with water similary to other alkali metals (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium)
When potassium is set on fire, it burns with a lilac or light purple flame, releasing heat and producing potassium oxide. The reaction is highly exothermic and can be violent if large amounts of potassium are involved. It is essential to handle potassium with extreme caution due to its reactivity with air and water.
Potassium is the only metal (alkali metal) where a flame is present. Lithium and sodium fizz but there is no flame. Caesium, francium and rubidium all explode on contact with water.
