It reacts violently, fizzes about on the surface and then: BOOM!!!
it makes potassium permanganate with water and glycine...
BOOM!
When potassium reacts with water the potassium burns a bright purple light, a gas is given off with a hissing noise and the potassium rockets around the surface of the water because it floats.
The potassium catches on fire and then explodes. Seriously. Don't try it.
When potassium permanganate is dropped into water, the ions are solvated by the water molecules. This results because potassium permanganate is water soluble. Thus, the solid compound is separated into aqueous ions.
Acid + Alkali -> Salt + Water For this case, Hydrochloric acid + Potassium hydroxide -> Potassium chloride + water HCl + KOH -> KCl + H2O
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!
2KOH + H2SO4 --> K2SO4 + 2H2O You get potassium sulphate, a salt, and water.
KOH + HCl -> KCl + H2O Produces a salt, potassium chloride, and water.
Silver iodide (AgI), a precipitate insoluble in water, don't react with potassium nitrate.
after 5 minutes the water will form pinkish
Solid, pure, potassium metal will react violently with water to form hydrogen gas. Often this hydrogen gas will ignite causing a flame and sometimes an explosion.
