Potassium, K. Reaction with water. When a small piece of potassium is added to water, it produces a hissing sound as it burns with a lilac flame. It also moves about quickly on the water surface.

When potassium ions (K+) are pumped into the guard cells the water potential in the cells decreases and water passes out of adjacent cells into the guard cells by osmosis. The guard cells become turgid (swollen with water). This opens the stomata and allows water loss (and gas exchange).
