Mospeadaanswered grow question 5 years ago So far, what I've found is this. Usually, when metals react with certain dilute acids, they form their respective salts along with hydrogen gas and sometimes other by products.
In the case of potassium when it reacts with dilute sulphuric acid, the salt of potassium sulphate is formed in addition to hydrogen gas.
2K + H2SO4 = K2SO4 + H2
This is the reaction formula. So I guess I just need to research hydrogen and if it as a byproduct is anything to be concerned about.
