* Reaction: The reaction between water (H₂O) and potassium oxide (K₂O) is an exothermic reaction that produces potassium hydroxide (KOH).
* Equation:
K₂O + H₂O → 2KOH
Explanation:
* Potassium oxide is a basic oxide.
* Water is a neutral molecule.
* When they react, the potassium ions (K⁺) from the oxide combine with hydroxide ions (OH⁻) from water, forming potassium hydroxide.
Note: While hydrogen is a component of water, it doesn't get released as a gas in this reaction.
