      I’m not entirely sure.

      Hi Edward. It’s been a long time since I studied inorganic chemistry, but I seem to recall that Potassium reacts with water to form Potassium hyroxide, releasing hydrogen as it does so. I’d imagine it would be something similar with lemonade, but maybe with carbon dioxide released too.

      But you really should ask someone who knows more chemistry to be sure. 8)
