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.


How many grams of K2O are in 1750 ml of 2.5 solution?

Potassium oxide violently react with water !


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?

Yes, cesium is expected to react violently with water. This is because cesium belongs to the same group (alkali metals) in the periodic table as lithium, sodium, and potassium, which are known to react violently with water due to their highly reactive nature and tendency to form alkaline hydroxides and release hydrogen gas.


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.


Is sodium and potassium react violently with water a chemical change?

Yes, the reaction between sodium/potassium and water is a chemical change. This reaction produces hydrogen gas and hydroxide ions, resulting in the formation of a new substance with different properties than the reactants.


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.


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.


Does sodium react violently with water?

Yes.


What happens when potassium reacts with hydrogen?

When potassium reacts with hydrogen gas, potassium hydride (KH) is formed. This reaction is highly exothermic and can release a significant amount of energy. Potassium hydride is a powerful reducing agent and can react violently with water or oxygen.


Which metals act violentely with water?

The Alkali metals (group 1) and the Alkali Earth metals (group 2) react violently with water. Lithium and magnesium show slow reactions in boiling water. Sodium and potassium reacts violently with flames with cool water. The elements in higher periods (strontium, barium etc.) react explosively.Elements in the 1st group react rapidly with cold water. The rate of reaction increases down the period. The elements in the 2nd group also reacts with hot water or steam.
