Why do potassium oxide and potassium chloride give off the same colour of light in a flame test?
The color is from the potassium !
What is the formula for potassium and oxygen to give potassium oxide?
K2O is potassium oxide
Is potassium oxide soluble?
Potassium oxide reacts with water to form soluble potassium hydroxide.
What is the name of k2O?
K2O2 is the molecular formula for the compound potassium peroxide. Since both potassium (K) and oxygen (O) have a subscript of "2", a potassium peroxide molecule contains two potassium atoms and two oxygen atoms.
What substances are formed when potassium oxide dissolves in water?
When potassium oxide is dissolved in water it forms potassium hydroxide.
