Can potassium dissolve in water?
Yes. potassium will dissolve in water forming potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. however, the reaction is very exothermic and will generally catch fire.
How do you make saturated potassium hydroxide?
Gradually dissolve potassium hydroxide crystals in pure water. In a certain point, a precipitation starts as further dissolving does not take place and you've made a solution of saturated potassium hydroxide.
What does sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide have in common?
Both of these compounds are strong alkali. Both of these are hydroxides of alkali metals. Both of these compounds dissolve in water vigorously.
What base is soluble in water?
base which is soluble in water is called alkali. example the lithium,calcium sodium ,potassium,rubidium ,francium all are alkali metals. they form sodium hydroxide,potassium hydroxide,calcium hydroxide all are strong bases .when they dissolve in water they form strong alkali.
What salt is formed when potassium hydroxide neutralizes hydrochloric acid react?
potassium hydroxide+hydrochloricacid =potassium chloride + water .

Will potassium hydroxide dissolve in octane?
Potassium hydroxide is a polar compound. Octane is a non polar compound. Therefore, these compounds would not be dissolved in each other.
What salt is formed when potassium hydroxide neutralizes hydrochloric acid react?
potassium hydroxide+hydrochloricacid =potassium chloride + water .
What is the word equation for the reaction of Li Na and K with H2O?
Lithium + water = lithium hydroxide + hydrogen Sodium + water = Sodium hydroxide + hydrogen Potassium + water = Potassium hydroxide + hydrogen
When sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide neutralize each other to make water and potassium sulfate water is formed by what?
when sulphuric acid is reacted with potassium hydroxide, neutrallisation reaction occurs to form water and potassium sulphate.
Potassium hydroxide plus hydrochloric acid?
Potassium chloride + water
How do you make a 10 percent aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide?
Weigh 10g of the given sample and dissolve it in 100ml of water, it forms a 10% solution of that sample.
What substances are formed when potassium oxide dissolves in water?
When potassium oxide is dissolved in water it forms potassium hydroxide.
