Answer:

potassium, nitrogen and phosphorous cycle

Explanation:

A fertilizer is a substance which is applied on the plants by farmers to increase the supply of nutrients for the plants. Fertilizers have known to be toxic in many ways such as they alter the potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus cycles. Nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus are present in abundant amounts in the fertilizers. Draining of these fertilizers into rivers and ponds is toxic for the aquatic life. Hence, the use of fertilizers disrupts the natural cycles and is toxic for many aquatic plants and animals.

Answer:

25 grams

Explanation:

You strat off with 400 grams of your substance. By day 14, half has dcayed and you only have 200 grams left. By day 28, there are 100 grams of the substance. On day 42, there are 50 grams left. Finally, on day 56, the substance has been through four half-lives and 25 grams remain.

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. Despite its name, silica gel

Zinaida [17]

So we look equation for the free Gibbs free energy (ΔG) which depends on entalpy (ΔH), temperature (T) and entropy (ΔS):

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

ΔG is negative (-) because the water absorption on the silica gel surface is a spontaneous process.

ΔH is negative (-) because the water absorption on the silica gel surface is a exothermic process (it releases heat and if you want to desorb the water form the silica gen you need to add heat which is a endothermic process).

ΔS is negative (-) because the water is adsorbed, so from disorderly state you take the water molecules and put them in a orderly state and by doing that you decrease the entropy.
