write balanced equations of hydrogen with the following:

a. potassium b. fluorine c. sulfur

I would write them this way but leave them for you to balance.

K + H2 ==> KH
H2 + F2 --> HF
H2 + S ==> H2S--Your prof may prefer
H2 + S8 ==> H2S

Thanks

Sure! Here are the balanced equations for hydrogen reacting with potassium, fluorine, and sulfur:

a. Hydrogen with Potassium:
To write the balanced equation, we need to remember that in a chemical reaction, atoms are neither created nor destroyed. Therefore, the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side must be the same as the number of atoms of each element on the product side.

The reaction between hydrogen and potassium would form potassium hydride (KH).

2K + H2 → 2KH

b. Hydrogen with Fluorine:
In this case, hydrogen reacts with fluorine to form hydrogen fluoride (HF).

H2 + F2 → 2HF

c. Hydrogen with Sulfur:
When hydrogen reacts with sulfur, it forms hydrogen sulfide (H2S).

H2 + S → H2S

These are the balanced equations for hydrogen reacting with potassium, fluorine, and sulfur. Remember to always balance the equations to ensure that the number of atoms is the same on both sides.
