The most common reaction that causes spoilage isn't a reaction at all. Molds and Bacteria are attracted to the easily found presence of water in the fruit. They find a natural place to reproduce and what they do causes spoilage.
Very few sources talk about the chemical changes that take place. If you put fruit in a refrigerator it slows the spoiling process down. That means that the chemical reaction has to be endothermic (it requires heat to occur)
The process of spoilage is speeded up by bananas for example, giving up Ethylene gas. You do not want to put a banana with tomatoes, because tomatoes are very sensitive to Ethylene. (It's OK to eat them together. They make a terrific salad. Yum).
I cannot find a definitive source that connects all this together, but the conduct of the fruit in refrigerators confirms what I am saying.
Spoilage is a very complex reaction and interaction with the environment. I have given you a hint of what happens but you should search it out to convince yourself of the outcome.
Answer:
Kc for this reaction is 0.06825
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Number of moles formaldehyde CH2O = 0.055 moles
Volume = 500 mL = 0.500 L
At equilibrium, the CH2O(g) concentration = 0.051 mol
Step 2: The balanced equation
CH2O <=> H2 + CO
Step 3: Calculate the initial concentrations
Concentration = moles / volume
[CH2O] = 0.055 moles . 0.500 L
[CH2O] = 0.11 M
[H2] = 0M
[CO] = 0M
Step 4: The concentration at the equilibrium
[CH2O] = 0.11 - X M = 0.051 M
[H2] = XM
[CO] = XM
[CH2O] = 0.11 - X M = 0.051 M
X = 0.11 - 0.051 = 0.059
[H2] = XM = 0.059 M
[CO] = XM = 0.059 M
Step 5: Calculate Kc
Kc = [H2][CO]/[CHO]
Kc = (0.059 * 0.059) / 0.051
Kc = 0.06825
Kc for this reaction is 0.06825
<span>El Niño during the time of 1997 to 1998 caused drought in Southeast Asia and flooding in much of Latin America and in the Horn of Africa due to significant amounts of rainfall. The effects in both places were numerous deaths. In areas where it flooded, mudslides occurred and spoiled seed stores. In areas of drought, crops were extremely diminished and let to starvation.</span>
Main advantages of DDT are the insecticide property and the knoledge about its chemical synthesis.
Explanation:
At that time in 1939 it was discovered that DDT have insecticide properties. It is a useful property because it allows inhibition of insects populations in large areas. Killing insects will reduce the diseases transmitted by them as typhus and malaria. More over you prevent the destruction of the agricultural crops by the harmful insects.
However the synthesis of the molecule was known way back in 1874. From that time it was plenty of time in which chemistry knowledge evolved so the synthesis at kilograms scale was implemented. High quantities of DDT molecule become available for the market so that in 1945 was available as agricultural insecticide.
It was discovered that DDT have bad effects for human health and also over time some insects developed resistance and their were not affected anymore by the molecule.
You may find the chemical structure of DDT in the attached figure.

Answer: Gold.
Explanation: Water, CO2, and table salt are compounds. They are composed of two or more separate elements; a mixture, where as gold is neither.
