Answer:By their movement, by their wastes, and by their metabolic.

Explanation:The nutrient cycle is a system where energy and matter are transferred between living organisms and non-living parts of the environment. This occurs as animals and plants consume nutrients found in soil, and these nutrients are then released back into the environment via death and decomposition.

How nutrient enters the food chain?

A nutrient cycle (or ecological recycling) is the movement and exchange of organic and inorganic matter back into the production of matter. Energy flow is a unidirectional and noncyclic pathway, whereas the movement of mineral nutrients is cyclic.

Answer :

(a) The concentration of Pb^{2+} is, 0.0337 M

(b) The concentration of Pb^{2+} is, 6.093\times 10^{32}M

Solution :

<u>(a) As per question, lead is oxidized and copper is reduced.</u>

The oxidation-reduction half cell reaction will be,

Oxidation half reaction:  Pb\rightarrow Pb^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction half reaction:  Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu

The balanced cell reaction will be,  

Pb(s)+Cu^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Pb^{2+}(aq)+Cu(s)

Here lead (Pb) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Copper (Cu) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

E^o_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}=-0.13V

E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=+0.34V

E^o=E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}-E^o_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}

E^o=0.34V-(-0.13V)=0.47V

Now we have to calculate the concentration of Pb^{2+}.

Using Nernest equation :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Pb^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

E_{cell} = 0.507 V

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

0.507=0.47-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{[Pb^{2+}]}{(0.6)}

[Pb^{2+}]=0.0337M

Therefore, the concentration of Pb^{2+} is, 0.0337 M

<u>(b) As per question, lead is reduced and copper is oxidized.</u>

The oxidation-reduction half cell reaction will be,

Oxidation half reaction:  Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction half reaction:  Pb^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Pb

The balanced cell reaction will be,  

Cu(s)+Pb^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+Pb(s)

Here Copper (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Lead (Pb) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

E^o_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}=-0.13V

E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=+0.34V

E^o=E^o_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}-E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}

E^o=-0.13V-(0.34V)=-0.47V

Now we have to calculate the concentration of Pb^{2+}.

Using Nernest equation :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Cu^{2+}]}{[Pb^{2+}]}

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

E_{cell} = 0.507 V

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

0.507=-0.47-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(0.6)}{[Pb^{2+}]}

[Pb^{2+}]=6.093\times 10^{32}M

Therefore, the concentration of Pb^{2+} is, 6.093\times 10^{32}M
