It only creates a purple "cloud" as was stated in the previous answer when phenolphthalein is added to the water. The "cloud" is not a cloud. Hydrogen gas is evolved. Phenolphthalein is clear in acidic conditions, and purple in basic conditions. As potassium is added to the water, potassium hydroxide is created (alkaline/basic) therefore creating the purple colour water, and hydrogen gas is evolved. A link accompanying this shows lithium through to Caesium, potassium included, in water and shows the equation of the reaction. Caesium in particular is very entertaining.
No, chlorine water does not react with potassium chloride. Chlorine water is a solution of chlorine gas in water, while potassium chloride is a compound consisting of potassium and chloride ions. They do not react with each other under normal conditions.
When potassium, magnesium, and manganese are mixed with water separately, they will undergo different chemical reactions. Potassium will react vigorously with water, magnesium will react slowly to produce magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas, while manganese will not react with water under normal conditions.
When hydrochloric acid and potassium hydroxide react together in water, they form potassium chloride (KCl) and water (H2O) as products.
Yes, KSCN (potassium thiocyanate) will react with water to form potassium cations and thiocyanate anions in solution.
Chlorine water and potassium chloride do not react with each other. Chlorine water is a solution of chlorine gas in water, while potassium chloride is a compound composed of potassium and chloride ions. Mixing them does not result in a chemical reaction.

No, they do not

Potassium react violent with water, iron react only if oxygen is present.

Potassium bromide dissolves in water but does not react with it to produce a chemical change.
Yes, they react tor form water and the corresponding potassium carboxylate salt.
No. Potassium will react violently on contact with water. Potassium is stored under oil to protect it from air and water.
potassium hydroxide
Lithium, sodium, and potassium react vigorously with water to form hydroxides and release hydrogen gas. The reactivity increases as you go down the group from lithium to potassium, with potassium being the most reactive.
