0.39 g of potassium reacts completely with water. The solution is then made up to 250 cm3\mathrm{cm^{3}}cm3 with water.
2K+2H2O→2KOH+H2\mathrm{2K + 2H_{2}O \rightarrow 2KOH + H_{2}}2K+2H2O→2KOH+H2
Relative atomic masses: H = 1, O = 16, K = 39
What is the concentration of potassium hydroxide in the solution?
