Chemical equation potassium and water

Answer 1

2K(s) + 2H2O(l) -> 2KOH(s) +H2(g)

However, if potassium were dropped into water, there would be so much water that the KOH would not be solid but aqueous so it should read

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

Answer 2

The chemical equation for the reaction between potassium and water is:

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

This reaction is highly exothermic and produces potassium hydroxide (KOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). It is a violent reaction that can lead to the ignition of the hydrogen gas produced.
