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 !

When ice melts, what happens to the water molecules?
Naddik [55]

Not much.

Ice is only water, when the molecules are submitted to low temeperatures and have formed a crystalline arrangement of low density. In ice, the molecules arange themselves in hexagons with hydrogen bonds binfing each molecule.

When ice melts it turnes into water and the molecules leave the crystalline shape and come back to their normal density. In water, not all molecules are binded forming short and irregular lines.

→ In the image below, you can see the arrangement of ice and water.


Hope it helped,

Find the molarity and molality of 37.0 wt% Hcl. Assume the density of the acid is 1.19g/ml​
erik [133]

Answer:

a) M HCl = 32.162 mol/L

b) m HCl = 15.873 mol/Kg

Explanation:

  • wt% = (mass HCl / mass sln)×100
  • δ HCl = mass HCl / Volume sln
  • molarity = mol HCl / V sln (L)
  • molality = mol HCl / Kg solvent

∴ MW HCl = 36.46 g/mol

assuming mass sln = 1 g

∴ mass sln = 1 g = g solvent + g solute

∴ solute: HCl

⇒ 0.37 = g HCl / g sln

⇒ g HCl = 0.37 g

⇒ g ste = 1 - 0.37 = 0.63 g

⇒ Kg ste = (0.63 g)×(Kg/1000 g) = 6.3 E-4 Kg

⇒ mol HCl = (0.37 g HCl)×(mol/36.46 g HCl) = 0.010 mol HCl

∴ V sln = (0.37 g)/(1.19 g/mL) = 0.3109 mL

⇒ V sln = (0.31 mL)×( L/1000 mL) = 3.109 E-4 L

a) molarity (M):

⇒ M HCl = 0.010 mol HCl / 3.109 E-4 L

⇒ M HCl = 32.162 mol/L

b) molality (m):

⇒ m HCl = ( 0.010 mol HCl) / (6.3 E-4 Kg)

⇒ m HCl = 15.873 mol/Kg
