Answer:
Explosion!
Explanation:
Potassium and sodium are highly reactive elements, and when they come into contact with water, they react violently producing sodium/potassium hydroxide along with a lot of heat. The energy produced is so high that it burns the hydrogen produced in the reaction causing an explosion whose size depends upon the quantity of sodium used.
The following reaction takes place:
Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2
