Make equations along the chain K = K2O = KOH = K2CO3 = H2CO3 = CO2

4K + O2 → 2K2O (potassium, oxygen, potassium oxide; compound reaction);

K2O + H2O → 2KOH (potassium oxide, water, potassium hydroxide; compound reaction);
2KOH + CO2 ↑ → K2CO3 + H2O (potassium hydroxide, carbon dioxide, potassium carbonate, water; exchange reaction);

K2CO3 + 2HCl → 2KCl + H2CO3 (potassium carbonate, hydrochloric acid, potassium chloride, carbonic acid; exchange reaction);

H2CO3 → H2O + CO2 ↑ (carbonic acid, water, carbon dioxide; decomposition reaction).



One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society. A person today needs to study almost all his life, mastering everything new and new, acquiring the necessary professional qualities.
