Gibbs' Paradox is shown to arise from an incorrect traditional definition of the entropy that has unfortunately become entrenched in physics textbooks. Among its flaws, the traditional definition predicts a violation of the second law of thermodynamics when applied to colloids.
Abiotic and Biotic Factors in the Intertidal Zone. Abiotic and Biotic factors in the Intertidal Zone:Abiotic:Water Depth, temperature, turbulence, Salinity, Ph Balance, Tides, Winds, SedimentBiotic:Human Impact, Density of Algae/Kelp, Population of: Plants, Mollusks, Crustaceans, Worms, Fish, Birds, Mammals.biotic and Biotic Factors in the Intertidal Zone.

Thirdly, because of the intertidal zone's high exposure to the sun the temperature range can be extreme from very hot to near freezing in frigid climates (with cold seas). Lastly, the salinity is much higher in the intertidal zone because salt water trapped in rock pools evaporates leaving behind salt deposits.These four factors make the intertidal zone an extreme environment in which to live.astly, the salinity is much higher in the intertidal zone because salt water trapped in rock pools evaporates leaving behind salt deposits.
