Question

Write a chemical equation for the reaction of:

(3) Potassium with water

Answer 1

Chemical Equation:

• Chemical equations are used to represent chemical reactions.
• This equation involves reactants on one side of the arrow and products on another side of the arrow

The reaction of potassium with water :

• To form potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas, potassium interacts violently with water.
• The chemical equation for the reaction of potassium with water is as follows:
• $2\mathrm{K}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)\to 2\mathrm{KOH}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+{\mathrm{H}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)$
