you can die if you have too much potassium
Your body maintains a balance of sodium and potassium for proper muscle function. When you have too much sodium, you can get muscle cramps (a typical problem many women have, prevented by eating foods high in potassium, like bananas). When you take potassium supplements (as a bodybuilder may), you will get muscle cramps from the imbalance the other way. Too much sodium or potassium can have short or long term effects on health.
When the human body is deprived of potassium, it may result in various cardiac dysfunctions and may even lead to death. As a silvery white alkali metal that rapidly oxidizes as it reacts with air, potassium ions are necessary elements into the balance functioning of all living cells.
Low or high potassium in your blood can lead to serious heart arrythmias.

What happens when a potassium ion and a flouride ion combine?
Potassium fluoride of KF is formed.
What happens when copper metal reacts with potassium cyanide?
Copper metal is less reactive than potassium so it will not react with potassium cyanide.
What happens when potassium reacts with hydrogen?
When potassium reacts with hydrogen gas, potassium hydride (KH) is formed. This reaction is highly exothermic and can release a significant amount of energy. Potassium hydride is a powerful reducing agent and can react violently with water or oxygen.
When potassium chloride is mixed with ammonia and ammonium fluoride what happens?
Any reaction occur.
What happens to potassium iodide when it gets oxidised?
When potassium iodide is oxidized, it forms iodine. Potassium iodide loses electrons hence it is oxidized. This reaction can be observed by the change in color of the solution from colorless to brown/yellow due to the formation of iodine.
What happens when a potassium ion and a flouride ion combine?
Potassium fluoride of KF is formed.
What happens when potassium reacts with water and oxygen?
When potassium reacts with water, it forms potassium hydroxide and releases hydrogen gas. When potassium reacts with oxygen, it forms potassium oxide.
What happens when water is mixed with potassium?
BOOM!
What is the definition for depriveed?
Deprived or deprivation is when someone cannot physically benefit from something other people can. Africa would be seen as a deprived country.
What happens if you put potassium into water?
The potassium catches on fire and then explodes. Seriously. Don't try it.
What happens when copper metal reacts with potassium cyanide?
Copper metal is less reactive than potassium so it will not react with potassium cyanide.
What happens when you mix hydrocloric acid with potassium?
hydroplasm
What happens when the potassium gates open?
you fight zues
What happens if you mixed Potassium Permanganate with Lithium metal?
boom
What result of Potassium iodide Ammonium sulfide?
Nothing happens
What happens when potassium goes into a lit candle?
it reacts vigourasly
