Spores in the air or contamination through some sort of insect interaction. In an open system, there are billions of microbial agents floating around. With an open container containing a food source and time, the likelihood of contamination is nearly %100.

Answer:

Spores transported by the air.

Explanation:

Hello,

In biology, molds account for masses of mycelium, that is vegetative filaments or hyphaes and fruiting structures, produced by various fungi like Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Rhizopus. Such fungi, are associated with food spoilage and plant diseases, therefore, when they reproduce, they release spores which are spread to the air and subsequently transported to suitable sources of substrate allowing them to grow again. In such a way, since the jar was uncovered, spores transported by the air were allowed to get into the soup and grow there.

Best regards.

What is the amount of solute per given amount of solvent?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Concentration

Explanation:

Concentration is measure of the quantity of solute present in a given amount of solvent. Concentration can be measured in mol/dm³, g/m³ and other forms like molality, parts per million.

Concentration in mol/dm³(molarity) is a measure of the amount of moles of solute present in 1 dm³ of solvent while concentration in g/dm³ is the number of grams of solute present in 1 dm³ of solvent. These units of concentration can be converted to the other unit by using simple conversion methods.

molality refers to the amount of solute in 1 kg of solvent, while ppm is basically used for very dilute solutions.

Which of the following is an oxidation-reduction reaction? ZnS(s) + 2O2(g) ZnSO4(s) CaO(s) + H2O(l) Ca(OH)2(s) 6Li2O(s) + P4O10(
Lelechka [254]

ZnS(s) + 2O₂(g) ⇒ZnSO₄(s)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The oxidation-reduction reaction or abbreviated as Redox is a chemical reaction in which there is a change in oxidation number

Oxidation is an increase in oxidation number, while reduction is a decrease in oxidation number.

Reaction

ZnS(s) + 2O₂(g) ⇒ZnSO₄(s)

S²⁻ (-2 in ZnS) to S⁺⁶(+6 in ZnSO₄) ⇒ oxidation

O₂(0 in O₂) to O⁻²(-2 in ZnSO₄)⇒ reduction
