What is the reaction when potassium carbonate is put into water?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
A strong electrolyte dissociates completely into ions in aqueous solution. When potassium nitrite, a strong electrolyte, is put into water the cations and anions are surrounded by water molecules and the solid dissolves.
KNO2(s) K+(aq) + NO2-(aq)
We represent this state by the symbol "(aq)" to indicate that the ions are in aqueous solution.

∙ 15y agoI guess it would eventually go to the hydroxide and emit CO2. I am not sure of the temperature needed

∙ 13y agoOnce potassium bicarbonate reaches a temperature of about 100 to 120 degrees Celsius it undergoes a decomposition reaction: 2(KHCO3) = K2CO3 + H2O + CO2. This is a chemical change.

What is the reaction when potassium acetate is put into water?
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 plus chlorine equals?
The reaction equation is: 2K + Cl2 --> 2KCl
When you put potassium per magnate into water it changes to what color?
red
What happens when lithium sodium potassium rubidium and caesium reacts with cold water?
They react pretty violently with water. These elements have 1 valence electron with makes them very reactive. When they are put in the water they split the water molecule into Hydrogen gas and NaOH or LiOH, etc. Lithium, sodium and potassium while violent reactions are pretty mellow compared to the reactions of Rubidium, Cesium and Francium. Search google video for cesium reaction with water and you will see what i mean.
When Cobalt 2 sulfate is put into water what is the reaction?
Co2+ + 2SO4
What is the reaction when potassium sulfate is put into water?
Write the reaction when potassium sulfide is put into water:
What is the reaction when ammonium hydrogen carbonate is put in water?
A water solution is obtained.
What happens when it is put in water potassium?
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!
When you put potassium in water?
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.
What is the correct formula for potassium carbonate?
the formula of potassium carbonate is k2co3 because the valency of potassium (k1+) valency of carbonate is (co32-) interchange the valencies and don't put the signs then it will become (k2co3) so the formulae of potassium carbonate is k2co3
What happens when you put potassium chloride into water?
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!
What is the reaction when potassium acetate is put into water?
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)
This metal explodes with cold water?
Potassium metal is a metal that explodes when put in cold water. It causes a chemical reaction which results in a large explosion.
What happen when you put potassium in water?
Pure Potassium (K) will catch fire and may explode upon contact with water or very humid air.
What happens if you put potassium into water?
The potassium catches on fire and then explodes. Seriously. Don't try it.
Potassium plus chlorine equals?
The reaction equation is: 2K + Cl2 --> 2KCl
What is potassium at room temerature?
Solid. Not to be put in water (But fun) :)
