Brian's family has a compost pile at home. They put all the weeds they pull up from the garden in it as well as any vegetable wa

ste they gather from the kitchen. If they keep it moist, all this vegetation will
eventually turn into organic soil by the chemical process of decay. Since decay involves a variety of chemical reactions, how might temperature affect the rate at which the compost turns into sol?
Temperatures near freezing would make it speed up.
It would happen faster at warmer air temperatures.
Changing temperatures would not affect the chemical reactions.
Warm summer air temperatures would make it slow down.

Answer:

Option - It would happen faster at warmer air temperatures

Explanation:

The chemical process of converting organic matter such as plants, litter into organic soil, or organic compost called decomposition and perform by decomposers such as fungus or bacteria.

Like all other living organisms, decomposers also live in an optimal range of temperature. The major decomposers normally lie in the range of 30 to 40-degree celsius. Any type of fluctuation in this range might slow down the reaction of decomposition.

How does insect damage to crops in Kenya compare to insect damage to crops in North America
Dahasolnce [82]
Hello
<span>
Both America and Kenya have a high level of possible crop damage by insects. America is able to afford insecticides and the research to go with it, to control the pests. In Kenya farmers rotate their crops as much as possible (not always possible) and this helps in reducing the risk of pests. Also Kenyan farmers often grow rice in adjacent fields with sweet potatoes; this has reduced the weevil infestation level in sweet potatoes. The same technique can be used using sweet potato, intercropped with millet and sesame.

Adding heat to water results in a relatively small temperature change because
V125BC [204]
Answer:   Because water has a high specific heat capacity due to the hydrogen bonding within the H₂O molecules ;  so it takes a great deal of energy, or heat, to break these bonds— or to form them.

A 3.06 gram sample of an unknown hydrocarbon with empirical formula CH2O was found to contain 0.0170 moles of the substance. Wha
Yanka [14]

Answer:

180 amu

C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the molecular mass of the compound

The sample has a mass (m) of 3.06 g and it contains (n) 0.0170 moles. The molar mass M is:

M = m/n = 3.06/0.0170 mol = 180 g/mol

Then, the molecular mass is 180 amu.

Step 2: Determine the molar mass of the empirical formula.

M(CH₂O) = 1 × M(C) + 2 × M(H) + 1 × M(O)

M(CH₂O) = 1 × 12 g/mol + 2 × 1 g/mol + 1 × 16 g/mol = 30 g/mol

Step 3: Determine the molecular formula

First, we will determine "n" according to the following expression.

n = molar mass molecular formula / molar mass empirical formula

n = 180 g/mol / 30 g/mol = 6

The molecular formula is:

n × CH₂O = 6 × CH₂O = C₆H₁₂O₆

olasank [31]
The reaction equation is:
<span>2CuO(s) + C(s) </span>→ <span>2Cu(s) + CO</span>₂<span>(g)

First, we determine the number of grams present in one ton of copper oxide. This is:
1 ton = 9.09 x 10</span>⁵ g

We convert this into moles by dividing by the molecular mass of copper oxide, which is:
9.09 x 10⁵ / 79.5 = 11,434 moles

Each mole of carbon reduces two moles of copper oxide, so the moles of carbon required are:
11,434 / 2 = 5,717 moles of Carbon required

The mass of carbon is then:
5,717 x 12 = 68,604 grams

The mass of coke is:
68,604 / 0.95 = 72,214 g

The mass of coke required is 7.22 x 10⁴ grams
