Theoretically yes - Hydrogen has an oxidation number in HCl of +1 (Cl has an ox no of -1 of course) and potassium has an oxidation state of +1.
HCl + K ---------> KCl + H(+)
(the potassium is oxidised and the hydrogen is reduced)
Not just theoretically - It would react dangerously violently.
What else can I help you with?
Word equation for hydrogen chloride reacting with magnesium?
2HCl + Mg ---------> MgCl2 + H2 Hydrogen chloride + Magnesium -------> Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen gas
Potassium metal and clorine gas combine to form potassium chloride?
When potassium metal reacts with chlorine gas, they combine through a chemical reaction to form potassium chloride. This reaction results in the formation of a white solid compound, potassium chloride, which is an ionic salt. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is 2K + Cl2 → 2KCl.
What substances form from the reaction of hydrogen and chlorine gas?
The compound hydrogen chloride, with formula HCl.
Why is pure zinc not used to prepare hydrogen gas?
Pure zinc is not used to prepare hydrogen gas because it does not react with water to produce hydrogen gas. Instead, zinc reacts with acids like hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride and release hydrogen gas. This reaction is utilized in the laboratory to produce hydrogen gas.
What suubstance will react with water at room temperature and pressure to produce hydrogen?
Sodium reacts with water at room temperature (even at lower ) and produce hydrogen gas , 2Na + 2H2O = 2NaOH + H2
Can potassium chloride be prepared from zinc and hydrogen chloride?
No, reacting zinc with hydrogen chloride will yield zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Potassium chloride can be prepared by reacting potassium with hydrogen chloride or (more safely) potassium hydroxide with hydrogen chloride.
Will using potassium hydroxide during electrolysis produce chlorine gas?
If you mean just potassium hydroxide or its aqueous solution, then no, because their are no chlorine atoms present. The only elements present are potassium, hydrogen and oxygen. Molten KOH produces potassium at the cathode and oxygen at the anode, and the solution gives hydrogen at the cathode and oxygen at the anode.
What does hydrochloric acid and potassium make?
Hydrochloric acid and potassium react to form potassium chloride and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: 2HCl + 2K -> 2KCl + H2.
What gas would potassium in water produce?
Potassium reacts with water to produce potassium hydroxide (KOH) and hydrogen gas (H2).
What gas is made when potassium reacts with water?
Potassium reacts with water to produce potassium hydroxide (KOH) and hydrogen gas (H2).
Zinc and hydrogen chloride react to produce?
When zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid it produces zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.
What yields potassium hydroxide hydrogen?
"Potassium hydroxide hydrogen" is meaningless.
What does Chlorine plus potassium iodide produce?
Chlorine gas reacts with potassium iodide to produce potassium chloride and iodine. This reaction can be represented by the chemical equation: Cl2 + 2KI -> 2KCl + I2.
What is the reaction between dilute hydrochloric acid and potassium?
When dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with potassium, it produces potassium chloride and hydrogen gas. The chemical equation for this reaction is: 2K(s) + 2HCl(aq) → 2KCl(aq) + H2(g). It is a single displacement reaction where potassium displaces hydrogen from hydrochloric acid to form potassium chloride.
Which of the following substances does not produce oxygen gas through decomposition: water, hydrogen peroxide, or potassium chlorate?
Water does not produce oxygen gas through decomposition. Hydrogen peroxide and potassium chlorate do produce oxygen gas when they decompose.
If you added potassium to hydrochloric acid would it produce pottasium salt?
If you added potassium to hydrochloric acid, it would produce potassium chloride (a potassium salt) and hydrogen gas as in the equation below:2K(s) + 2HCl(aq) --> 2KCl(aq) + H2 (g)This reaction is the same for all metals.Acid + Metal = Metal salt + Hydrogen gasOther reactions:Adding an acid to a metal hydroxide gives a metal salt and water.Adding an acid to a metal carbonate give a metal salt and carbon dioxide gas.
When hydrochloric acid and potassium hydroxide are mixed what gas is given off?
I have no idea. The products of that reaction are water (not a gas at room temperature) and potassium chloride (not a gas at room temperature).
