Answer:
When the Zebra arrived they ate all the food so the Unionid mussels declined as they died from the lack of food. Causing the Zebra Zebra numbers to increase and Unionid numbers to decline.

The standard reduction potential

resembles the electrode's strength as an oxidizing agent and equivalently its tendency to get reduced. The reduction potential of a Platinum-Hydrogen Electrode under standard conditions (

A cell with a high reduction potential indicates a strong oxidizing agent- vice versa for a cell with low reduction potentials.
Two half cells connected with an external circuit and a salt bridge make a galvanic cell; the half-cell with the higher
E
θ
and thus higher likelihood to be reduced will experience reduction and act as the cathode, whereas the half-cell with a lower
E
θ
will experience oxidation and act the anode.

Therefore in this galvanic cell, the

the anode.
The standard cell potential of a galvanic cell equals the standard reduction potential of the cathode minus that of the anode. That is:

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
mass = 0.508 g, Volume = 0.175 L
Temperature = (25 + 273) K = 298 K, P = 1 atm
As per the ideal gas law, PV = nRT.
where, n = no. of moles = 
Hence, putting all the given values into the ideal gas equation as follows.
PV = 
1 atm \times 0.175 L = 
= 71.02 g
As the molar mass of a chlorine atom is 35.4 g/mol and it exists as a gas. So, molar mass of 
is 70.8 g/mol or 71 g/mol (approx).
Thus, we can conclude that the gas is most likely chlorine.
Answer:
AuCl
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of Gold = 2.6444g
Mass of Chlorine = 0.476g
Unknown:
Empirical formula = ?
Solution:
Empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound. Here is the way of determining this formula.
Elements Au Cl
Mass 2.6444 0.476
Molar mass 197 35.5
Number of moles 2.6444/197 0.476/35.5
0.013 0.013
Divide by the
smallest 0.013/0.013 0.013/0.013
1 1
The empirical formula of the compound is AuCl
