This is actually a two-step reaction:

4Na + 4H2O = 4NaOH + 2H2

then, because the first reaction is so exothermic it will ignite the hydrogen...

2H2 + O2 = 2H2O

How do you balance K plus H20---KOH plus H2?

This is a chemical equation representing the reaction of potassium with water to form potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas: 2K + 2H₂O → 2KOH + H₂. To balance it, simply ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. In this case, the equation is already balanced.
