Like sodium, it burns.
Write the reaction when potassium sulfide is put into water:
When you put potassium permanganate into water, it changes to a deep purple or violet color.
The potassium catches on fire and then explodes. Seriously. Don't try it.
Solid. Not to be put in water (But fun) :)
Potassium metal will react violently with water to form KOH and hydrogen gas. Due to the heat released by the reaction - the hydrogen gas will ignite. So: placing potassium in water will cause a fire!
Potassium reacts violently with water to form POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE(KOH)and hydrogen gas K+H2O---------- KOH+H2 The H2 catches fire due to the heat of the reaction which in turn ignites potassium .potassium burn's with a crimson flame.
A strong electrolyte dissociates completely into ions in aqueous solution. When potassium acetate, a strong electrolyte, is put into water the cations and anions are surrounded by water molecules and the solid dissolves by the following equation:KCH3COO(s) ----> K+(aq) + CH3CO2-(aq)
Potassium reacts vigorously with water to produce potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction releases a lot of heat and hydrogen gas, which can ignite, resulting in a flame or explosion. Therefore, it is not safe to put potassium 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.
evaporation
Pure Potassium (K) will catch fire and may explode upon contact with water or very humid air.
