प्रश्न
Describe the reaction of potassium with water. Write the equation of the reaction involved.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Potassium reacts violently with water to form potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The huge amount of heat evolved in the reaction will immediately burn the hydrogen gas produced in the reaction.
2K(s) + 2H2O → 2KOH(aq) + H2(g) + HEAT
