What are the observations when potassium reacts with water?
Potassium reacts vigorously with water, as it is one of the most reactive alkali metals. When it does, it floats on top of the water, and burns a lilac flame. It also may explode. Fizzing and bubbling will also be seen as hydrogen gas is produced. The potassium reacts with the water to become a hydroxide (potassium hydroxide)
What is the reaction for potassium chloride and water?
Potassium reacts rapidly and vigorously with water to produce colourless basic potassium hydroxide solution. In this reaction hydrogen gas is liberated. This reaction is highly exothermic. On evolution of heat potassium becomes purplish.2 K (solid) + 2 H2O (liquid) -> 2 KOH (aqueous) + H2 (gas)Additionally, hydrogen released during the reaction strongly reacts with oxygen and ignites. Potassium reacts with water more slowly than does rubidium. It reacts with water more rapidly than does sodium.
What does lithium react with?
Lithium reacts vigorously (but not violently) with water.
Why is sodium plus dil hcl highly explosive?
sodium is one of the most reactive metals. it even reacts vigorously with cold water. therefore when combined with dil. HCl the reaction is highly explosive.
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.
An alkali metal which reacts with water vigorously with water and sends sparks flying?
Potassium

What is the use for sodium?
Sodium is a soft metal and can be cut with knife. Sodium metal is used in chemistry lab, sometimes in fireworks. Sodium when exposed to water, reacts vigorously.
Whow does potassium react in water?
When Potassium is put in water, it reacts vigorously. It sends out a purple flame and it makes a small explosion. You can also smell the smell of burnt fumes.
What is the reaction for potassium chloride and water?
Potassium reacts rapidly and vigorously with water to produce colourless basic potassium hydroxide solution. In this reaction hydrogen gas is liberated. This reaction is highly exothermic. On evolution of heat potassium becomes purplish.2 K (solid) + 2 H2O (liquid) -> 2 KOH (aqueous) + H2 (gas)Additionally, hydrogen released during the reaction strongly reacts with oxygen and ignites. Potassium reacts with water more slowly than does rubidium. It reacts with water more rapidly than does sodium.
Sodium and potassium reacts vioently with water is that a chemical or physical change?
chemical change
Which metal element reacts explosively with water?
Lithium, sodium, potassium. rubidium, cesium, francium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium all react with varying degree of vigor with water to produce hydrogen gas. Other metals also will but not as vigorously.
How does drinking water after sweating affect the sodium potassium balance the body?
because the levels of it goes high when reacts to water after losing it
What metal reacts with water to cause an explosion?
there are some alkali metals. It can be sodium or potassium.
How is the way the element sodium reacts with water different from the way the compound sodium chloride reacts with water?
Sodium reacts violently with water, while sodium chloride (or table salt) dissolves in water.
Which element reacts more rapidly in water lithium or potassium?
Potassium (K) reacts most rapidly with water.
What does lithium react with?
Lithium reacts vigorously (but not violently) with water.
