Answer:

(1) cathode: Y

(2) anode X

(3) electrons in the wire flow toward: Y

(4) electrons in the wire flow away from: X

(5) anions from the salt bridge flow toward X

(6) cations from the salt bridge flow toward Y

(7) gains mass: Y

(8) looses mass X

Explanation:

The voltaic cell uses two different metal electrodes, each in an electrolyte solution. The anode will undergo oxidation and the cathode will undergo reduction. The metal of the anode will oxidize, going from an oxidation state of 0 (in the solid form) to a positive oxidation state, and it will become an ion. At the cathode, the metal ion in the solution will accept one or more electrons from the cathode, and the ion’s oxidation state will reduce to 0. This forms a solid metal that deposits on the cathode. The two electrodes must be electrically connected to each other, allowing for a flow of electrons that leave the metal of the anode and flow through this connection to the ions at the surface of the cathode. This flow of electrons is an electrical current that can be used to do work, such as turn a motor or power a light.

There are three factors in which natural selection occurs. Select one statement from the list below that is a true statement abo
azamat

Answer: There is no list in your question. But the three factors in which natural selection occurs are:

1. A struggle for existence,

2. Variation and

3. Inheritance

Explanation:

Darwin’s theory of natural selection is the way in which organisms change overtime.

These changes allow organisms to become better adapted to their environment and increase their chances for survival.

The three major factors through which natural selection occurs are:

1. A struggle for existence,

2. Variation and

3. Inheritance

Darwin’s theory of natural selection will occur if the three conditions above are met and unless these factors are in place, natural selection will not occur.

Round to 4 significant figures.<br> 0.007062
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Hey there!

This is already rounded to four significant figures!

Zeroes after the decimal but before the 7 don't count, and 7, 0, 6, and 2 count as significant figures.

So, the answer would be 0.007062.

Let me know if this helps :)
