Additionally, hydrogen released during the reaction strongly reacts with oxygen and ignites. Potassium reacts with water more slowly than does rubidium, which is placed under potassium in the periodic chart. It reacts with water more rapidly than does sodium, which is placed higher in the periodic chart.
The reaction equation is 4K + O₂ → 2K₂O.
The flame in this reaction has a violet color.

marked or not
no
this is wrong its my mistake
sorry
4 K + 2 O2 =2 K2O is right answer
ok
ubaid pls mark
i do not know

Answer:
Potassium oxide is produced from the reaction of oxygen and potassium; this reaction affords potassium peroxide, K2O2. ... Other possibility is to heat potassium peroxide at 500 °C which decomposes at that temperature giving pure potassium oxide and oxygen
