Yes, yes it does! When any amount of potassium (K) is presented to any source of liquid water, the potassium flames and smokes until it is completely burned and nothing remains.

Lithium sodium and potassium all react violently with water knowing this and looking at the periodic table would you expect cesium to react violently with water as well explain why or why not?
Because all four of those elements are Alkali Metals (first family on the periodic table)
What is the word equation for fluorine and potassium?
Fluorine and potassium react violently with one another to produce potassium fluoride and emit copious heat.
Which metal is preserved in kerosine?
sodium and potassium are kept under kerosene surface to protect them from rust since the are very active elements and react with O as soon as being exposed to it.
Which metal element reacts explosively with water?
Lithium, sodium, potassium. rubidium, cesium, francium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium all react with varying degree of vigor with water to produce hydrogen gas. Other metals also will but not as vigorously.
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.
Is sodium and potassium react violently with water a chemical change?
Sodium and potassium reacting violently with water is a chemical reaction, causing a chemical change.
Is potassium metal preserved under water?
No. Potassium will react violently on contact with water. Potassium is stored under oil to protect it from air and water.
Does water contain potassium?
Not safely. If potassium makes contact with water it react violently, bursting inflames and possibly exploding.
How many grams of K2O are in 1750 ml of 2.5 solution?
Potassium oxide violently react with water !
Potassium metal in water?
Potassium will react violently with water, forming potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. 2K + 2H2O --> H2 + 2KOH The heat of the reaction will likely ignite the hydrogen, which will subsequently form water.
Does potassium react more violently with acids or does sodium?
Yes , it is true.
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!
What happens to potassium when it is added to water?
Solid, pure, potassium metal will react violently with water to form hydrogen gas. Often this hydrogen gas will ignite causing a flame and sometimes an explosion.
Lithium sodium and potassium all react violently with water knowing this and looking at the periodic table would you expect cesium to react violently with water as well explain why or why not?
Because all four of those elements are Alkali Metals (first family on the periodic table)
Why is it unsafe to add an acid to potassium?
Potassium will react violently, with acid. The reaction can potentially splatter droplets of acid or pieces of burning potassium.
What is the word equation for fluorine and potassium?
Fluorine and potassium react violently with one another to produce potassium fluoride and emit copious heat.
Why does concentrated hydrochloric acid not react with potassium a predicted?
Potassium violently reacts with hydrochloric acid forming the potassium chloride and hydrogen gas.
