Question

sodium and potassium react in the same way with water. Describe the reaction of potassium with water​

Answer 1

Answer:

Potassium metal reacts very rapidly with water to form a colourless basic solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The reaction continues even when the solution becomes basic. The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic.
