The reaction between potassium metal and water produces potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. the correct equation for this reaction is:

A: K + H2O—> KOH + H2
B: K + H2O—>KOH + H
C: 4K + 3H2O—> 4KOH + 2H
D: 2K + 2 H2O—> 2KOH + H2

2K   +   2H₂O   →   2KOH  + H₂

Explanation:

The reactants are:

    Potassium metal  = K

    Water  = H₂O

 The products are:

  Potassium hydroxide  = KOH

  Hydrogen gas  = H₂  

The reaction equation is given as;  

                Reactants   →   Products

        2K   +   2H₂O   →   2KOH  + H₂

The reaction is a single displacement reaction
