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.

Abiotic aspects. Abiotic means non-living.. The abiotic aspects of an ecosystem are its non-living chemical and physical characteristics. These factors affect the kinds of organisms that can inhabit a given ecosystem, and their abundance.biotic factors in an aquatic environment like the Hudson River include the temperature of the water, how much oxygen it contains, how acid or basic it is (pH), how fast or slowly it moves, and how much sunlight penetrates the surface.
