It equals into hydrogen gas (which is automatically ignited by the reaction's heat) and potassium hydroxide, which is instantly dissolved in the unreacted water.
It doesn't equal the world's safest reaction, however. Wear safety goggles and the proper gear.

and so you must not MIX solid potassium metal with water!
It is already very dangerous, uncontrolably reacting when immersed in water and this should NEVER be tried at home. Hydrogen gas is (explosively) freed from it.
2K + 2H2O --> H2 + 2K+ + 2OH-
Potassium reacts with oxygen to form potassium oxide (K2O). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is 4K + O2 -> 2K2O.

2K + 2H2O --> 2KOH + H2
The heat from this reaction will likely ignite the escaping hydrogen.

What is the balanced formula equation for chlorine plus potassium iodide equals potassium chloride plus iodine?
Cl2 + 2KI → 2KCl + I2
What does lead plus oxygen equals?
Lead + Oxygen -> Lead (IV) Oxide Formula: Pb (s) + O2 (g) -> PbO2 (s)
Potassium plus chlorine equals?
When potassium reacts with chlorine, they form potassium chloride, which is a white crystalline salt commonly used in everyday life. This reaction involves the transfer of electrons from potassium to chlorine to create a stable compound.
Balanced equation for aluminum plus oxygen equals aluminum oxide?
Aluminium + Oxygen = Aluminium Oxide 2 Al + O2 = 2AlO2
What is the balanced reaction for fluorine plus sodium hydroxide equals sodium fluoride plus oxygen plus water?
2F2 + 2NaOH → 2NaF + O2 + 2H2O
Calcium plus carbon plus oxygen plus oxygen plus oxygen equals?
Calcium plus carbon plus oxygen plus oxygen plus oxygen equals calcium carbonate (CaCO3), which is a chemical compound that forms when calcium reacts with carbon and oxygen.
What reaction is kno3 equals kno2 plus o2?
The reaction is the decomposition of potassium nitrate (KNO3) into potassium nitrite (KNO2) and oxygen (O2) gas. 2 KNO3 → 2 KNO2 + O2.
What is the sybol equation for potassium plus oxygen?
The chemical equation for the reaction between potassium and oxygen is: 4K + O2 -> 2K2O
