Rachel Carson was an American marine biologist, who after the discovery of the effects of synthetic pesticides on the environment, became a conservationist.. She wrote a book called, <em>Silent Spring</em> which helped advance the worldwide environmental movement. Her book, <em>Silent Spring</em> expressed her feelings and thoughts on the environmental problems, including many problems with synthetic pesticides like DDT. <em />This then influenced a nationwide ban on many pesticides, including DDT. Her book lead to the inspiration of the grassroots movement and the creation of the U.S Environmental Protection Agency. Rachel Carson was also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Jimmy Carter.

In the picture of a planet in orbit around its star area a is double that of area b. What is true of the time the planet takes t
aalyn [17]
The Kepler's laws predict the planetary motion, so there are three laws for this, namely:

1. The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun (the sun is a star!) at one of the two focus.

2. A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.

3. The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

So, let's use second law. The Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time means that if A = B, the time the planet takes to travel A1A2 is equal to the time the planet takes to travel B1B2, but given that A = 2B, then takes twice the time to travel A1A2 compared to B1B2.

What is the half-reaction that occurs at the cathode during the electrolysis of molten potassium bromide?
polet [3.4K]

The complete ionization of KBr into its constituents is:<span>
<span>KBr (s)  --->  K+ (aq)  +  Br- (aq)</span></span>

<span>
During electrolysis, oxidation takes place at the anode electrode. This means that an ion is stripped off its electron hence becoming more positive:
<span>2 Br- (aq)  --->  Br2 (g) + 2e- </span></span>

We can see that Bromine gas Br2 is evolved at the anode. 

<span>
<span>Meanwhile at the cathode, the reduction reaction occurs. Which means that the electron from the anode electrode is used to make an ion more negative:
<span>2K+ (aq)  +  2e-  --->  2K (s) </span></span>
Hence, through reduction, solid potassium is deposited on the plate.</span>

 

 

Half reactions:

<span>Anode: 2 Br- (aq)  --->  Br2 (g) + 2e- </span>                       

<span>Cathode: 2K+ (aq)  +  2e-  --->  2K (s) </span>
