Question

Word equation for k(s)+H2O(l) yield KOH(aq) + H2(g)

Answer 1

Two moles of potassium react with 2 moles of water to form two moles of potassium hydroxide and 1 mole of hydrogen gas.  The number of moles of hydrogen gas produced is half the number of moles of water and potassium that react together.

The molar mass of...

Answer 2

Answer: The word equation for the given chemical equation is given below.

Explanation:

Word equation is defined as the equation in which substances are written in word form and not in chemical formulas. The words "and" or "plus" means that one substance and another substance are both reactants or products.

For the given chemical equation:

$K(s)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow KOH(aq.)+H_2(g)$

The word equation for this follows:

$\text{(Potassium)}(s)+\text{Water}(l)\rightarrow \text{(Potassium hydroxide)}(aq.)+\text{Hydrogen gas}(g)$

Here, 1 mole of potassium metal reacts with liquid water to produce 1 mole of potassium hydroxide and 1 mole of hydrogen gas.

Hence, the word equation for the given chemical equation is given above.
