you can answer this by looking at the column in the periodic table that has potassium, all of the elements in the period react the same so

lithium, sodium, rubidium, cesium, and francium have similar properties and react in the same way

Potassium reacts similarly to all of the other group one metals (the alkali metals). They react vigourously with water to give off hydrogen and heat (often burning or even exploding). They react quickly with oxygen in the air. The products of both types of reactions are strong alkalis.

Lithium is the least reactive. Then sodium. Potassium is next. Rubidium is violently reactive. Caesium is just mental.

Try searching for "brainiac alkali metals video" for a very good demonstration of just how mental.<

Sodium is another metal that reacts in a similar way to potassium. Both metals are highly reactive and will react vigorously with water, producing hydrogen gas and forming a hydroxide solution.
