Definition of Decomposer

Decomposers are consumers that breakdown plants and waste into smaller pieces. This provides the soil with nutrients. Fungi (such as mushrooms and mould) that grows on bread, fruits, and veggies are also decomposers.  

Bacteria

Many people do not realize that bacteria is a decomposer.

Did you know?

Most families in Toronto have a compost system where they put all uneaten food and products that can be broken up into a seperate bin.  

Do any of your families use a compost system?

Fungus: Important because it breaks up several dead leaves, particles, etc, and puts nutrients back in the ground.

Carnivores: eat dead animals, no stinky rotten meat around.

In substitution reactions, (CH3)3C-I reacts at the same rate with Br- and Cl- even though Br- is a more reactive nucleophile tha
Kamila [148]

Answer:

A. (CH3)3C-I reacts by SN1 mechanism whose rate is independent of nucleophile reactivity.

Explanation:

We must recall that (CH3)3C-I is a tertiary alkyl halide. Tertiary alkyl halides preferentially undergo substitution reaction via SN1 mechanism.

In SN1 mechanism, the rate of reaction depends solely on the concentration of the alkyl halide (unimolecular mechanism) and is independent of the concentration of the nucleophile. As a result of this, both Br^- and Cl^- react at the same rate.
