When potassium metal is placed in water, a large amount of energy is released as potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas are produced in the reaction 2K(s) + 2H20m - 2KOH(aq) + H2(g)- Your lab partner says this is a redox reaction and a combustion reaction. Do you agree? Defend your answer by explaining whether or not it meets the requirements of each type of reaction.

Respuesta :

Yes,I agree that it is a redox reaction.

In the given reaction potassium metal is placed in water and when a reactive metal is placed in water, it reacts with water to form metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas, as a result, potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas are produced in the reaction.

A redox reaction is a reaction in which a substance is oxidized during the reaction whereas some other substance is reduced during the reaction, simultaneously.

The given chemical reaction is:

2K(s) + 2H20(l) arrow 2KOH(aq) + H2(g)
