Why doesn't potassium react with water when inside the human body?

Because potassium (symbol K) is a metal and very reactive (like sodium, Na )
but in the body fluid it is NOT the metal form, but the 'innocent' ionic (= oxidised, or salty) form: symbolised by K+ and Na+

Does potassium iodide react with sodium carbonate?
The only known and possible reaction is the following redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction between I3- (Iodine-Iodide complex) and S2O32- (thiosulfate)I3- + 2 S2O32- --> 3 I- + S4O62-ox. + red.So the reaction between potassium iodide (KI) and potassium thiosulfate (K2S2O3) is NOT possible because they both are reductors (electron donors).Iodine-Iodide complex is essentially Iodine is an oxidator, bound to a non-reacting I- ion (Iodide)

No silver cannot react. It is less reactive than potassium
