Answer is: humus.

Humus is the dark organic matter that forms in soil when dead plant and animal matter decays.

Microorganisms decompose the soil organic matter into inorganic minerals that the roots can absorb.

Humus can hold a lot of moisture (approximately 80–90% of its weight) and its dark color helps to warm cold soils.

The answer is; Humus

Humus is found in the topmost layer of the soil where there is decomposing organic matter. This layer of soil has a characteristic color of dark brown to black. This layer of soil also teems with microbial activity and organisms such as earthworms, fungi, and arthropods which are significant in the decomposition of the dead organic matter.

Explain how deforestation can cause a disruption to the carbon cycle

TEA [102]

Trees and forest play an important role in balancing the amount of Carbon in the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis where plants make their own food with carbon dioxide, using energy from the sunlight. Therefore, deforestation (cutting down of trees) has an effect on the carbon cycle also the greenhouse gas effect and global warming. Deforestation reduces the removal component of this cycle, thus, increasing the carbon dioxide in the air.

How can you tell if a chemical equation is balanced

k0ka [10]

Answer:

A chemical equation is balanced when the number of each kind of atom is the same on both sides of the reaction.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of matter (except in nuclear reactions) indicates that atoms can neither be created or destroyed.

The number of atoms that are in the reactants must be the same as the number of the atoms that are in the product.

The number and types of molecules can (and will) change. The atoms that make up the molecules are rearranged but the number and kinds of atoms stay the same.

Which sample contains a total of 3.0 x 10^23 molecules?

belka [17]

Given that 1 mole contains 6.02x10^23 molecules, 3.0x10^23 is just around half a mole. Then we check the number of moles for each choice:

A. This is approximately half a mole, since the molar mass of Br2 is 159.8 g/mol.
B. He has a molar mass around 4 g/mol, so this is 1 mole.
C. H2 has a molar mass of 2.02 g/mol, so this is 2 moles.
D. Li has a molar mass of around 6.97 g/mol, so this is around 2 moles.

Therefore the only choice that fits is A. 80 g of Br2.
