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.

Any non-living chemical or physical factor in the environment is considered an abiotic factor. There are three main types of abiotic factors: climatic factors consist of sunlight, atmosphere, humidity, temperature, and salinity; edaphic factors are abiotic factors regarding soil, such as the coarseness of soil, local geology, soil pH, and aeration; and social factors include land use and water availability.
