Pure Potassium (K) will catch fire and may explode upon contact with water or very humid air.
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) :)
Like sodium, it burns.
It depends entirely upon the solid and the liquid.If you put a group 1 metal such as potassium into water you get a purple fireball, an explosion, hydrogen gas and potassium hydroxide.If you put potassium in oil nothing happens.If you put talc into water you get a suspension.If you put a salt into water you get an aqueous solution.Some things will react, others will not.
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.
i have no idea i was searching for it...i'm just playing around.
When potassium metal and water are mixed, a chemical reaction occurs. This exothermic reaction produces hydrogen gas and potassium hydroxide, which dissolves in the remaining water. This reaction can be vigorous and produce light, heat and sound.
When you put water near a window it will eventually after a couple of days evaporate.
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)
