Chemistry

Kitty [74]3 years ago

Answer:

The roles of decomposers organisms are to degrade organic matter and contribute to the nutrition of the soil, which involves recycling the chemical elements needed by living organisms.

Explanation:

In nature, decomposers -such as bacteria and fungi- are heterotrophic organisms that require nourishment from organic matter in order to survive, being the last level of the food chains.

<u>The role of decomposers in an ecosystem can be summarized in two main functions</u>:

  1. <em>Degrading organic matter to convert complex substances into simple substances, which contributes to their own nutrition.</em>
  2. <em>To provide nutrients to the soil, which will be used by producers, plants, for their growth and development.</em>

An example of this is the degradation of proteins by decomposers, providing nitrogen to the soil that will subsequently be absorbed by plants to synthesize their nutrients.

If 5,800 j of energy are applied to a 15.2 kg piece of lead, by how much does the temp change if the specific heat of lead is 0.
scoray [572]

Answer:

The answer will be 2.98K

Explanation:

Using the formula:

Q = mc∆T

Q= 5,800 (heat in joules)

m= convert 15.2kg to g which is 15200g (mass in grams)

c= 0.128 J/g °c (Specific heat capacity)

∆T=  what we need to find (temperature change)

5800J = 15200g x 0.128 x ∆T

= 2.98K
