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.

The surface tension of water is 7.28 ✕ 10−2 J/m2 at 20°C. Predict whether the surface tension of heptane would be higher or lowe
stira [4]

Answer:

Lower  

Explanation:

Surface tension occurs because molecules at the surface do not have molecules above them, so they cohere more strongly to their neighbours.

The stronger cohesive forces make it more difficult to move an object through the surface than when it is beneath the surface.

The attractive forces in water are strong because of hydrogen bonding.

A hexane molecule is nonpolar, so the only attractions are the weak London dispersion forces.

The cohesive forces at the surface are much lower than those in water, so the surface tension of hexane is lower than that of water at the sane temperature.
