What is the reaction when potassium sulfate is put into water?
Write the reaction when potassium sulfide is put into water:
Does acid produce a gas with an alkali?
No gas is produced in the reaction of an acid and an alkali. In a neutralisation reaction, acid + alkali -> salt + water
Why does potassium react with water but zinc does not?
Potassium is an alkali metal with one valence electron more reactive than zinc which has completely filled d orbitals. Hence potassium will react with water and not zinc.
What base is soluble in water?
base which is soluble in water is called alkali. example the lithium,calcium sodium ,potassium,rubidium ,francium all are alkali metals. they form sodium hydroxide,potassium hydroxide,calcium hydroxide all are strong bases .when they dissolve in water they form strong alkali.
Reaction equation of potassium nitrate with water?
Any chemical reaction, only the dissolution of potassium nitrate in water.

Is potassium sulfide soluble in water?
Yes, all the compounds of alkali metals including Potassium are soluble in water.

What would the reaction of potassium and cold water be like?
You aren't asking anything I don't know how to this. But if you're wondering, potassium does react (explode) to cold water and air, because it's an alkali metal (a element on the very right group or column of the periodic table). All alkali metals really want to lose an electron, making them highly reactive, and the further down the alkali metals you go, the more reactive they are.
How does chemical reaction occur in soap making?
In soap making, a chemical reaction called saponification occurs. It involves the combination of fats or oils with an alkali, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. This reaction breaks down the fats or oils into their component fatty acids and glycerin, while the alkali is neutralized. The fatty acids then react with the alkali to form soap molecules, which have a hydrophilic (water-loving) head and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) tail.
Reaction equation of potassium nitrate with water?
Any chemical reaction, only the dissolution of potassium nitrate in water.
What is the reaction between potassium hydroxide with water?
No reaction.
An alkali metal which reacts with water vigorously with water and sends sparks flying?
Potassium
Chemical reaction for potassium nitride?
It reacts with water to produce toxic Ammonia
Why are you not allowed to use all alkali metals?
They are highly reactive. For example, the reaction of potassium with water is highly vigorous and the hydrogen gas evolved would catch fire. Also, the hydroxide produced is very corrosive because it is a strong alkali.
