Inevitable manufacturing imperfections in optical fiber leads to birefringence, which is one cause of pulse broadening in fiber-optic communications. Such imperfections can be geometrical (lack of circular symmetry), due to stress applied to the optical fiber and/or due to bending of the fiber.

By sharing electeons with each other
if they lose or gain electrons then they only form ions
they cannot lose neutrons as they are locked inside the nucleus
Abiotic factors, also called abiotic components, are non-living parts of the environment which affects the living organisms and their function in the ecosystem. I think the correct answer is A. Wind factor is the only non-living part from the choices.
Answer:
a) Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O(s) + <em>2 </em>NH₄SCN(s) → Ba(SCN)₂(s) +<em>10</em> H₂O(l) + <em>2</em> NH₃(g)
b) 3.14g must be added
Explanation:
a) For the reaction:
Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O(s) + NH₄SCN(s) → Ba(SCN)₂(s) + H₂O(l) + NH₃(g)
As you see, there are 8 moles of water in reactants and 2 moles of oxygen in octahydrate, thus, water moles must be 10:
Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O(s) + NH₄SCN(s) → Ba(SCN)₂(s) +<em>10</em> H₂O(l) + NH₃(g)
To balance hydrogens, the other coefficients are:
Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O(s) + <em>2 </em>NH₄SCN(s) → Ba(SCN)₂(s) +<em>10</em> H₂O(l) + <em>2</em> NH₃(g)
b) As you see in the balanced reaction, 1 mole of barium hydroxide octahydrate reacts with 2 moles of NH₄SCN. 6.5g of Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O are:
6.5 g × (1mol / 315.48g) =<em> 0.0206moles of Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O</em>. Thus, moles of NH₄SCN that must be used for a complete reaction are:
0.0206moles of Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O × ( 2 mol NH₄SCN / 1 mol Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O) = <em>0.0412moles of NH₄SCN</em>. In grams:
0.0412moles of NH₄SCN × ( 76.12g / 1mol) = <em>3.14g must be added</em>
