How can an abiotic factor affect a biotic factor

1 answer:

4 0

Biotic and abiotic factors are the environmental conditions that the organisms have to face to live in a specified environment.

-Abiotic factors-
Abiotic factors are the physical and chemical conditions of an environment. For example : heat, salinity, pressure, light, wind, pH ...

-Biotic factors-
Biotic factors are all the biological conditions of an environment for a specie/taxa. It can include prey and predator abundance, available food amount, available space, intra and interspecific competition...

The development of organims is under the control of abiotic factors. Some are adapted to heat, cold etc ... The abiotic factors will define which organisms are able or not to live in a specified place.

The living organisms will constitute the biotic factors, which define if and how can an organism live in a specified environment.
So, the abiotic factors are controling the biotic factors of an environment.

Hope it helps you !

10.0 g of gaseous ammonia and 6.50 g of oxygen gas are introduced into a previously evacuated 5.50 L vessel. If the ammonia and

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The density is 3g/L

Explanation:

The reaction that occurs in the vessel is:

4 NH₃ + 5 O₂ → 4 NO + 6 H₂O

10,0g of NH₃ are:

$10,0g * \frac{1mol}{17,031g} = 0,587 moles$

6,50 g of O₂ are:

$6,50g * \frac{1mol}{32g} = 0,203 moles$

For a complete reaction of O₂ there are necessaries:

$0,203 mol * \frac{4molNH_{3}}{5molO_{2}}= 0,163 moles of NH_{3}$

O₂ is limiting reactant. The excess moles of NH₃ are:

0,587 - 0,163 = 0,424 moles of NH₃

These moles are:

$0,424mol * \frac{17,031g}{1mol} =$ 7,22g of NH₃

Knowing O₂ is limiting reactant, mass of NO and H₂O are:

$0,203molO_{2}*\frac{4molNO}{5molO_{2}}*\frac{30,01g}{1molNO} =$ 4,87g of NO

$0,203molO_{2}*\frac{6molH_{2}O}{5molO_{2}}*\frac{18,02g}{1molH_{2}O} =$ 4,39g of H₂O

The total mass is: 7,22g + 4,87g + 4,39g = 16,48g ≡ 16,5g

-The same mass add in the first. By matter conservation law-

As vessel volume is 5,50L, density is:

16,5g/5,50L = 3g/L

I hope it helps!

After crossbreeding, the seeds will be in the form below
Rr, Rr, rr and rr
which is two for each in four possible outcomes bringing the ratio to 1:1
which is equivalent to 1/2
so 1/2 as a percentage is
=1/2*100
=50%
