Question

Translate the following equation and then balance them:-
Pottasium metal reacts with water to give pottasium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Potassium metal reacts very violently with water producing potassium hydroxide (KOH) and hydrogen gas.

2K (s) + 2H  2 O (l) → 2KOH(aq) + H  2 ↑ (g)

This reaction is exothermic and releases enough heat to ignite the resulting hydrogen.
