Hi. I need to write balanced equations for the following reactions.
hydrogen and potassium, hydrogen and fluorine, hydrogen and sulfur, white phosphorus with excess bromine, and excess white phosphorus with oxygen. Thanks!
HELP WITH WRITING REACTIONS!!

Hydrogen + Potassium
H2 + 2K -> 2KH
Hydrogen + Fluorine
H2 + F2 -> 2HF
Hydrogen + Sulfur
H2 + S -> H2S
White Phosphorus with Excess Bromine
P4 + 6Br2 -> PBr3 (+ Any unreacted Br2)
OR
P4 + 10Br2 -> PBr5 (+ Any unreacted Br2)
(both possible depending on conditions and temperature also above 100 degrees C PBr5 decays to PBr3)
White Phosphorus + Oxygen
P4 + 5o2 -> P4O10 (+ Any unreacted P4)
H2 + 2K -> 2KH
Hydrogen + Fluorine
H2 + F2 -> 2HF
Hydrogen + Sulfur
H2 + S -> H2S
White Phosphorus with Excess Bromine
P4 + 6Br2 -> PBr3 (+ Any unreacted Br2)
OR
P4 + 10Br2 -> PBr5 (+ Any unreacted Br2)
(both possible depending on conditions and temperature also above 100 degrees C PBr5 decays to PBr3)
White Phosphorus + Oxygen
P4 + 5o2 -> P4O10 (+ Any unreacted P4)
In Physical Chemistry experiments must be reproducible, they should fail the same way each time
