It equals into hydrogen gas (which is automatically ignited by the reaction's heat) and potassium hydroxide, which is instantly dissolved in the unreacted water.
It doesn't equal the world's safest reaction, however. Wear safety goggles and the proper gear.

and so you must not MIX solid potassium metal with water!
It is already very dangerous, uncontrolably reacting when immersed in water and this should NEVER be tried at home. Hydrogen gas is (explosively) freed from it.

2K + 2H2O --> 2KOH + H2
The heat from this reaction will likely ignite the escaping hydrogen.

Calcium plus carbon plus oxygen plus oxygen plus oxygen equals?
Calcium plus carbon plus oxygen plus oxygen plus oxygen equals calcium carbonate (CaCO3), which is a chemical compound that forms when calcium reacts with carbon and oxygen.
What reaction is kno3 equals kno2 plus o2?
The reaction is the decomposition of potassium nitrate (KNO3) into potassium nitrite (KNO2) and oxygen (O2) gas. 2 KNO3 → 2 KNO2 + O2.
Photosynthesis equals carbon dioxide plus water equals ---------- plus oxygen?

What does potassium plus nitrogen equals to?
Well, one compound that comes to mind is potassium nitrate, KNO3, also known as 'saltpeter'.
Glucose plus oxygen plus water equals carbon dioxide plus water is the formula for?
It is for resperation
What is the balance equation potassium nitrate produces potassium nitrite plus oxygen gas?
2 KNO3 ↔ 2 KNO2 + O2
What is carbon plus something equals carbon dioxide?
Carbon plus oxygen equals carbon dioxide. When carbon undergoes combustion or oxidation, it combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, releasing energy in the process.
