the cathode is where reduction occurs!

Because if you have a liquid then you need a glass to keep it together and when it is a solid it is already together so you don't need to do anything
Balanced chemical reaction: 2K(s) + 2H₂O(l) → 2KOH(aq) + H₂(g).
KOH is inorganic compound p<span>otassium hydroxide, a strong base.
H</span>₂ is hydrogen gas.
In balanced chemical reaction number of atoms on both side of chemical reaction must be same. There are two potassium atoms, four hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms on both side of reaction.
Arrhenius' Law relates activation energy, Ea, rate constant, K, and temperature, T as per this equation:
K (T) = A * e ^ (-Ea / RT), where R is the universal constant of gases and A is a constant which accounts for collision frequency..
Then you can find the ration between K's at two different temperatures as:
K1 = A * e ^ (-Ea / RT1)
K2 = A* e ^(-Ea / RT2)
=> K1 / K2 = e ^ { (-Ea / RT1) - Ea / RT2) }
=> K1 / K2 = e ^ {(-Ea/ R ) *( 1 / T1 - 1 T2) }
=> K1 / K2 = e^ { (-205,000 j/mol / 8.314 j/mol*k )* ( 1 / 505K - 1/ 485K) }
=> K1 / K2 = e ^ (2.0134494) ≈ 7.5
Answer: 7.5
