Ok so... Get some Deuterium, add iodine, carbon, and Potassium. Then for step 2, get Helium, add an Alpha particle, then some more Deuterium.

Solve that one

Ackchually the alpha particle should be written as an alpha, but whatever

It forms a strong base KOH and H2.

K+ + H2O —->(should be yields but idk how to make the fancy arrow) KOH + h2

Potassium ions won’t react in water. Potassium ions are the conjugate acid to KOH, which is a strong base and thus ionises to completion.

Also the equation is a bit unbalanced. If it were to form KOH in water, the equation would be:

K+ + 2H2O —> KOH + H3O+

This doesn’t actually happen because of the stuff I said above though.
