[ image ]. Hydrogen gas is given out in the reaction. The resulting alkaline solution will turn red litmus blue because of the potassium hydroxide formed.
Question 16 (3 marks) (a) Write the word equation for potassium reacting with water forming an aqueous solution. (1 mark) potassium + water â potassium hydroxide + hydrogen (b) Write the balanced formulae equation for (a) including states/phases.(2 marks) 2K (s) + 2H 2 O (l) â 2KOH (aq) + H 2 (g) âº One mark for balanced equation + one mark for correct states.his shows that water is made up of more than one type of atom. (1 mark) âº The two substances obtained were in definite ratio of 2:1 as shown by the 2:1 ratio of the gas volumes. (1 mark) (ii) State another observation that shows that electrolysis is a chemical change.
