What happens to potassium in water?

it makes potassium permanganate with water and glycine...

it fizzes about on the surfaces

The potassium catches on fire and then explodes. Seriously. Don't try it.

It gives off potassium carbonate, water and carbon dioxide

It will dissolve in water with no chemical change

Potassium Chloride is used as a water softener. it dissolves quicker and easier then sodium chloride.

there is an endothermic reaction

Boom A violent reaction: hydrogen and potassium hydroxide results from this reaction.

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.

It dissociates into potassium ions and fluoride ions KF--> K+ + F-

Pure Potassium (K) will catch fire and may explode upon contact with water or very humid air.

you get a red glow and it produces hydrogen.

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!

it explodes. largely. youtube it. it's cool

Please take the oral supplement of potassium diluted in water. Many things can occur including death, if you do not take potassium for low potassium.

The potassium reacts with the water to form potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The reaction is very exothermic, and the hydrogen explodes during the reaction. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS REACTION! DO NOT ATTEMPT IT ON YOUR OWN!

When you mix these two, you create water and potassium chloride. Basically salt water. KOH + HCl -> H2O + KCl

KOH + HCl -> KCl + H2O Produces a salt, potassium chloride, and water.

2KOH + H2SO4 --> K2SO4 + 2H2O You get potassium sulphate, a salt, and water.

K2O + H2O --> 2K+ + 2OH- The water turns to basic.

Potassium chlorides dissociates into the K+ and Cl- ions and then...?..are the K+ or the Cl- ions attracted to the partially negative atoms of the water molecule?

Silver iodide (AgI), a precipitate insoluble in water, don't react with potassium nitrate.

It reacts violently releasing heat and hydrogen gas

it just dissolves, you answered the question yourself
