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 !

BALANCE the equation

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

1. 4FeCl3 + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3 + 6Cl2

2. 6 moles of Cl2

Explanation:

1. The balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

4FeCl3 + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3 + 6Cl2

2. Determination of the number of mole of Cl2 produce when 4 moles of FeCl3 react with 4 moles. To obtain the number of mole of Cl2 produced, we must determine which reactant is the limiting reactant.

This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of FeCl3 reacted with 3 moles of O2.

Since lesser amount of O2 (i.e 3 moles) than what was given (i.e 4 moles) is needed to react completely with 4 moles of FeCl3, therefore FeCl3 is the limiting reactant and O2 is the excess reactant.

Finally, we can obtain the number of mole Cl2 produced from the reaction as follow:

Note: the limiting reactant is used as it will produce the maximum yield of the reaction since all of it is used up in the reaction.

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of FeCl3 will react to produced 6 moles of Cl2.

During dehydration synthesis, an enzyme removes a ____________ functional group from the monomers of one organic molecule and a

Reika [66]

Linking monomers together to form a polymer .This chemical reaction also forms water molecules.

<h3>What is Polymerization?</h3>

This is a type of reaction which involves the linking of two or more monomers to form a polymer.

Dehydration reaction forms water molecules as part of the product thereby making it the most appropriate choice.

The solubility product of PbI2 is 7.9x10^-9. What is the molar solubility of PbI2 in distilled water?

Agata [3.3K]

<u>Answer:</u> The molar solubility of $PbI_2$ is $1.25\times 10^{-3}mol/L$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium.

Solubility product is defined as the product of concentration of ions present in a solution each raised to the power its stoichiometric ratio.

The balanced equilibrium reaction for the ionization of calcium fluoride follows:

$PbI_2\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}+2I^-$

s 2s

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be:

$K_{sp}=[Pb^{2+}][I^-]^2$

We are given:

$K_{sp}=7.9\times 10^{-9}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$7.9\times 10^{-9}=(s)\times (2s)^2\\\\7.9\times 10^{-9}=4s^3\\\\s=1.25\times 10^{-3}mol/L$

Hence, the molar solubility of $PbI_2$ is $1.25\times 10^{-3}mol/L$

How is it that when a salt sample dissolves in water, the delta S for the process is positive?

Bess [88]

Answer:-

Water is highly ordered. In water each oxygen atom is connected to others around it through hydrogen bonding via bridging hydrogen atoms. When a salt like NaCl is dissolved, some of these Hydrogen bonds break.

When a salt like NaCl dissolves in water, the NaCl breaks in to ions Na+ and Cl-.

The water molecules now surround these ions.

The slightly negative oxygen end of water molecule gets near the Na+, while the slightly positive Hydrogen of water molecule gets near the Cl-.

So before salt sample dissolve, the water molecules were highly ordered due to hydrogen bonding. Now after salt dissolve there is a decrease in order and thus an increase in disorder of the water molecules.

Due to increase in disorder, entropy which is a measure of disorder increases. Since entropy increases, delta S for the process is positive.

How many atoms in 2.25 mol of O2

Luden [163]

Answer:

1 molecule of oxygen has 2 atoms.

So 2,25 molecules of oxygen have 2 x 2,25 atoms.

2 x 2,25 = 4,5 atoms

There are 4,5 atoms in 2,25 molecules oxygen.
