Answer: O a layer of grass clippings, a layer of fruit scraps, some soil, and some water

Explanation:

The compost pile is made up of decomposing organic materials that are obtained from dead and decaying vegetable or plant matter, animal materials like dung, dead skins and others. The decomposition is done by the soil microbes that recycle the matter into nutrients that are absorbed by the plants. All the components of the compost pile are degradable and completely converted into organic matter. The grass clipping and fruit scraps mixed with soil and water can be easily decomposed by the soil microbes easily.

Complete the equations showing how 2−phenylethanol (c6h5ch2ch2oh) could be prepared from 2−phenylethanoic acid (c6h5ch2co2h) as

avanturin [10]

We are asked to provide an equation for the transformation of 2-phenylethanoic acid to 2-phenylethanol. This type of a reaction is converting a carboxylic acid to an alcohol, which is classified as a reduction reaction since we are decreasing the number of bonds to oxygen in the molecule. In order to reduce a carbonyl to an alcohol, we need a source of hydride, H⁻. Reducing the carboxylic acid once will convert it to the aldehyde. However, we need to reduce the functional group all the way down to an alcohol, which is another reduction step after aldehyde formation. Therefore, the hydride source of choice is lithium aluminum hydride, LiAlH₄.

A reaction scheme is provided to show the reaction of the reduction of carboxylic acid to alcohol. The first step is addition of lithium aluminum hydride which does the reduction, and the second step is a work-up of acid which protonates the alcohol to get the final product.

If you have a density of 100 kg/L and a mass of 1000 g what is the volume (please explain)

olchik [2.2K]

Answer: Volume = 0.01L

Explanation:

The density of a substance is given by; Density = Mass / Volume.

In this question, Mass = 1000g, Volume = ? and Density = 100 Kg/L

For the units to be uniform, we convert 1000g to Kg = 1Kg

Therefore, Volume = Mass / Density = 1Kg / 100Kg/L = 0.01L

If a piece of metal were to cut in half would the density change

nadezda [96]

Density depends on both the mass and the volume of an object. If you cut a bar of gold in half, you would have two bars with half the mass of the original bar. However, each bar would also have half the volume of the original bar. The density of gold does not change.

It benefits of the solar radiation for out planet is that it gives us heat, natural sunlight and its pollution free.The disadvantage for solar radiation is that there are also some toxic materials and hazardous products used during the manufacturing process of solar photovoltaic systems, which can indirectly affect the environment.

Hope I helped^^
