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.

Metals experience plastic deformation when _____.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Metals experience plastic deformation when a specific amount of pressure and temperature is applied to them. Most metals have low specific heat. Because of their low specific heat, they easily get hot when heat is applied to them.

Suppose you have a sample of table salt (NaCl) that has a mass of 100.0 grams. If

IgorC [24]

Taking into account the definition of molarity, the concentration of the solution is 0.855 $\frac{moles}{liter}$ .

<h3>Definition of molarity</h3>

Molar concentration or molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution and indicates the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a given volume.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of solute by the volume of the solution:

$Molarity=\frac{number of moles}{volume}$

Molarity is expressed in units $\frac{moles}{liter}$ .

<h3>Molarity of NaCl</h3>

In this case, you have:

number of moles of NaCl= $100 grams\frac{1 mole}{58.45 grams} =$ 1.71 moles (being 58.45 g/mole the molar mass of NaCl)
volume 2 L

Replacing in the definition of molarity:

$Molarity=\frac{1.71 moles}{2 L}$

Solving:

Molarity= 0.855 $\frac{moles}{liter}$

Finally, the concentration of the solution is 0.855 $\frac{moles}{liter}$ .

12 Chlorine gas is bubbled into aqueous potassium iodide.

ivanzaharov [21]

the answer is a because the positive cations are attracted to the negative cathode. when the positive ions get to the cathode they pick up an electron and this produces normal sodium.
