Theoretically yes - Hydrogen has an oxidation number in HCl of +1 (Cl has an ox no of -1 of course) and potassium has an oxidation state of +1.
HCl + K ---------> KCl + H(+)
(the potassium is oxidised and the hydrogen is reduced)
Not just theoretically - It would react dangerously violently.

∙ 14y agoyes AFAIK all salts are water soluble
therefore it dissolves in water
btw is this 4 your science coursewrk??
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoPotassium chlorate does not react with water but will dissolve in it, breaking into potassium ions and chlorate ions.
KClO3 --> K+ + ClO3-

∙ 11y agoyes, as potassium is more reactive than hydrogen
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes. Under some conditions, potassium and hydrogen can react to form potassium hydride.

Potassium metal and clorine gas combine to form potassium chloride?
Yes, but there are other, more harmless ways to produce KCl
What substances form from the reaction of hydrogen and chlorine gas?
The compound hydrogen chloride, with formula HCl.
Word equation for hydrogen chloride reacting with magnesium?
2HCl + Mg ---------> MgCl2 + H2 Hydrogen chloride + Magnesium -------> Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen gas
Does lithuim react in HCI?
Lithium does react with HCl (with a lowercase L) to produce lithium chloride (LiCl) and hydrogen gas (H2)
What does hafnium react with?
If there is a reaction, it it would produce hydrogen gas and a corresponding hafnium salt. For example if you use hydrochloric acid, you would get hafnium chloride.
Can potassium chloride be prepared from zinc and hydrogen chloride?
No, reacting zinc with hydrogen chloride will yield zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Potassium chloride can be prepared by reacting potassium with hydrogen chloride or (more safely) potassium hydroxide with hydrogen chloride.
What does hydrochloric acid and potassium make?
Potassium Chloride and hydrogen gas
Does Mg and HCl produce hydrogen gas?
They become hydrogen gas and magnesium chloride.
Zinc and hydrogen chloride react to produce?
When zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid it produces zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.
Why does concentrated hydrochloric acid not react with potassium a predicted?
Potassium violently reacts with hydrochloric acid forming the potassium chloride and hydrogen gas.
When magnesium and hydrochloric acid react what do they produce?
Magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas
What does an acid plus zinc produce?
Hydrogen gas and a zinc salt.It produces hydrogen and zinc chloride.
What is the reaction between dilute hydrochloric acid and potassium?
The reaction formed will be potassium chloride and hydrogen gas will be liberated. - KJ so cool!
Potassium metal and clorine gas combine to form potassium chloride?
Yes, but there are other, more harmless ways to produce KCl
What is occurring when a piece of potassium metal ignites in a beaker of water?
The potassium reacts with water to produce potassium hydroxide, hydrogen gas, and large amounts of heat. The heat ignites the hydrogen which in turn ignites the potassium.
Potassium hydride reacting with water?
Potassium hydride reacts with water to produce potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. KH + H2O --> KOH + H2
What does potassium and nitric acid make?
Potassium will react with nitric acid to produce potassium nitrate and hydrogen gas. 2K + 2HNO3 --> 2KNO3 + H2
