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.

What is the boiling point of a solution containing 203 g of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) and 1035 g of water? (Kb for water is 0.52

Andru [333]

Answer:

101,37°C

Explanation:

Boiling point elevation is one of the colligative properties of matter. The formula is:

ΔT = kb×m (1)

Where:

ΔT is change in boiling point: (X-100°C) -X is the boiling point of the solution-

kb is ebulloscopic constant (0,52°C/m)

And m is molality of solution (mol of ethylene glycol / kg of solution). Moles of ethylene glycol (MW: 62,07g/mol):

203g × (1mol /62,07g) = 3,27moles of ethlyene glycol

Molality is: 3,27moles of ethlyene glycol / (1,035kg + 0,203kg) = 2,64m

Replacing these values in (1):

X - 100°C = 0,52°C/m×2,64m

X - 100°C = 1,37°C

X = 101,37°C

I hope it helps!

What were the constraints on Nils Bohlin’s solution to safer seatbelts?

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

He realized he needs to have the upper body and lower body held in place and needed the buckle as far down beside the person's hip so it could hold the body properly

Explanation: ''I realized both the upper and lower body must be held securely in place with one strap across the chest and one across the hips,'' Mr. Bohlin once said. ''The belt also needed an immovable anchorage point for the buckle as far down beside the occupant's hip, so it could hold the body properly during a collision.
