PlEASE HELP M ASAP 50 PTS When potassium metal is placed in water, a large amount of energy is released as potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas are produced in the reaction 2K(s) + 2H20m - 2KOH(aq) + H2(g)- Your lab partner says this is a redox reaction and a combustion reaction. Do you agree? Defend your answer by explaining whether or not it meets the requirements of each type of reaction.

In the given reaction potassium metal is placed in water and when a reactive metal is placed in water, it reacts with water to form metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas, as a result, potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas are produced in the reaction. A redox reaction is a reaction in which a substance is oxidized during the reaction whereas some other substance is reduced during the reaction, simultaneously.

The given chemical reaction is:

2K(s) + 2H20(l) arrow 2KOH(aq) + H2(g)
