So I understand how to find the products of regular synthesis reactions. However, I'm having trouble with synthesis reactions involving compounds.
For example, H2O+K2O
It says in the textbook that the product is 2KOH but I don't know how that answer was found, could someone explain it to me? Thanks!

Balance this chemical reaction.

Balance this chemical reaction.

I know to balance the equations at the end, I just don't understand how the product was predicted because I don't understand how to find the products of synthesis reactions with compounds

Just read chemistry texbook on properties of metal oxides.

No, we can't.

I mean to say, we can, but basically, it requires typing a few chapters of your textbook here, which isn't worth our while.

Basically, you're expected to read, memorize, and maybe infer new reactions from experience.

But you can't just get a mathematical rule for 'H2O+K2O'=?
