  • Potassium and Water Reaction: Balanced Equation & Explanation
    The following is the balanced equation for the reaction between potassium and water to form potassium hydroxide (KOH) and hydrogen gas (H2):

    2K (s) + 2H2O (l) → 2KOH (aq) + H2 (g)

    2 moles of potassium (K) react with 2 moles of water (H2O) to produce 2 moles of potassium hydroxide (KOH) and 1 mole of hydrogen gas (H2).
