How does potassium make its oxide and hydroxide?
Potassium makes its oxide by direct reaction with oxygen molecules (although the principal product is potassium superoxide). Potassium reacts with water to form its hydroxide.
What are the observations when potassium reacts with water?
Potassium reacts vigorously with water, as it is one of the most reactive alkali metals. When it does, it floats on top of the water, and burns a lilac flame. It also may explode. Fizzing and bubbling will also be seen as hydrogen gas is produced. The potassium reacts with the water to become a hydroxide (potassium hydroxide)
Is potassium oxide soluble?
Potassium oxide reacts with water to form soluble potassium hydroxide.
When KHCO3 reacts with HBr the product is?
The products are Potassium bromide(KBr), Water(H2O) and Carbon(CO2). KHCO3 + HBr ----> KBr + H2O + CO2
the name of the product formed when sodium reacts with potassium?
sodium chloride
What is the the product when Pottasium Hyroxide reacts with Hydrocchloric Acid?
The products are potassium chloride and water.
How does potassium make its oxide and hydroxide?
Potassium makes its oxide by direct reaction with oxygen molecules (although the principal product is potassium superoxide). Potassium reacts with water to form its hydroxide.
Which element reacts more rapidly in water lithium or potassium?
Potassium (K) reacts most rapidly with water.

What gas is made when potassium reacts with water?
Hydrogen :)

the name of the product formed when sodium reacts with potassium?
sodium chloride
What is the solubility of potassium in water?
Potassium is soluble in water but not in organic solvents.
What are some simple facts about Potassium?
potassuim reacts with water!
What color flame is produced when potassium metal reacts with water?
Potassium produces a lilac flame
Potassium hydride reacting with water?
Potassium hydride reacts with water to produce potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. KH + H2O --> KOH + H2
