Question

Potassium metal reacts with water to give potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
(Translate the given statements into chemical equations and then balance it.)

Answer 1

K + H2O = KOH + H2

This is the required equation..

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Balanced chemical equation for given reaction is -

2 K + 2 H2O --> 2 KOH + H2

● Explaination -

• Potassium metal reacts with water to give potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
• Solution formed is basic colourless solution due to potassium hydroxide in it.

Balanced chemical equation for this is -

2 K + 2 H2O --> 2 KOH + H2

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
