Potassium is a Alkali metal.
In order to figure out what the metal is, look at the Periodic Table. The fist column down contains all the Alkali metals. The second Column down contains all the Alkaline Earth Metals. The Last Column to the right contains all the Nobel gases. The Column before that contains all the Halogens.
All above is true...
The reason WHY the first column is called the "alkali metals", is that when they react with water they form "alkali" salts (that is... bases.) For example...
Potassium + water => potassium hydroxide + hydrogen gas
Potassium hydroxide is basic (alkaline).
BTW, the alkaline earth metals also for basic salts, but the alkali metals are alot better at it.
Yes, Potassium is an alkali metals, along with its brothers, Lithium, Sodium, Rubidium Cesium, and Francium. They are very reactive when exposed to air or water.
No, potassium hydroxide is a strong base.
Hydroxides can be assumed to be bases.
No. KOH dissociates on hydration to K+ and OH-. Note that "hydroxide" means "basic" or "not acidic".
Neither. Potassium is a metal. It will react with water to produce potassium hydroxide, which is an alkali.
No, it's a base!!!
Yes it is a strong alkali
Yes.
Potassium hydroxide
potassium hydroxide is a base. anythng with hydroxide at the end is an alkali
Potassium hydroxide is not a natural product.
"Potassium hydroxide hydrogen" is meaningless.
The color of potassium hydroxide is either a white or yellowish color. Potassium hydroxide is a precursor to most soaps and detergents.
Lithium + water = lithium hydroxide + hydrogen Sodium + water = Sodium hydroxide + hydrogen Potassium + water = Potassium hydroxide + hydrogen
KOH is potassium hydroxide, its common name is caustic potash or potash lye.
Potassium hydroxide
The formula for potassium hydroxide is KOH.
potassium hydroxide formula- KOH
potassium hydroxide is a base. anythng with hydroxide at the end is an alkali
The formula for potassium hydroxide is KOH.
Potassium hydroxide is not a natural product.
"Potassium hydroxide hydrogen" is meaningless.
The color of potassium hydroxide is either a white or yellowish color. Potassium hydroxide is a precursor to most soaps and detergents.
The common name of potassium hydroxide is caustic potash. Historically, lye was potassium hydroxide, but the meaning has since changed to include sodium hydroxide
There will be no reaction between the lithium and the potassium hydroxide. However, since the potassium hydroxide is in solution, the lithium will still react with the water to form lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. 2Li + H2O --> H2 + LiOH.
