Microorganisms in the soil decompose waste as a source of energy for growth and release carbon dioxide (CO2). Scientists have observed that as soil temperatures increase (up to 25°C), the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere from the soil increases. Which explanation about how environmental factors affect the growth of microorganisms is BEST supported by this observation? Group of answer choices An increase in soil temperature decreases microorganism growth because the rate of decomposition decreases. An increase in soil temperature increases microorganism growth because the rate of decomposition increases. An increase in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from the soil increases microorganism growth because the rate of decomposition decreases. An increase in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from the soil decreases microorganism growth because the rate of decomposition increases.
Answer:
An increase in soil temperature increases microorganism growth because the rate of decomposition increases.
Explanation:
An increase in soil temperature increases microbial activities and the activity of extracellular enzymes that degrade polymeric organic matter within the soil. An increase in the soil microbial activities means that the decomposition rate and microorganism growth would increase. Increase in the activity of extracellular enzymes that degrade polymeric organic matter within the soil also means that more carbon dioxide would be produced and released into the atmosphere.

20 moles of potassium chlorate will give 30 moles of oxygen gas .
30 moles of oxygen = 30 x 6.02 x 10²³ molecules of oxygen .
= 180.6 x 10²³ molecules of O₂ .
An 18-g sample of element A combines completely with a 4-g sample of element B to form the compound AB. What is the mass of the compound formed?
Answer:
22g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of element A = 18g
Mass of element B = 4g
Unknown:
Mass of compound formed = ?
Solution:
The reaction equation is given as;
A + B → AB
According to the law of conservation of mass "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed but changed from one form to another".
Simply mas is conserved and the mass of the reactants is the same as the mass of the product that forms.
Mass of reactants = mass of A + mass of B = 18g + 4g = 22g
So;
Mass of product AB = 22g

calculate the mass of 120cc of nitrogen at stp .how many numbers of molecules are prrsent
Answer:
3.2 x 10²¹molecules
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Volume of nitrogen gas = 120cm³
Unknown:
Mass of nitrogen gas = ?
Number of molecules = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, note that;
1 mole of gas occupies a volume of 22.4L at STP
Now;
convert 120cm³ to L ;
1000cm³ = 1L
120cm³ gives 0.12L
Since;
22.4L of gas has 1 mole at STP
0.12L of gas will have [tex]\frac{0.12}{22.4}[/tex] = 0.0054mole at STP
So;
Mass of N₂ = number of moles x molar mass
Molar mass of N₂ = 2(14) = 28g/mol
Mass of N₂ = 0.0054 x 28 = 0.15g
Now;
1 mole of a gas will have 6.02 x 10²³ molecules
0.0054 mole of N₂ will contain 0.0054 x 6.02 x 10²³ =
3.2 x 10²¹molecules

Which of the following can occur after a rock is weathered?
It forms metamorphic rock.
It melts and forms igneous rock.
The sediment can form magma.
It gets compacted and forms sedimentary rock.
Answer:
It gets compacted and forms sedimentary rock.
Explanation:
After a rock is weathered, one thing that can happen is for it to get compacted and form sedimentary rock.
When a rock is weathered, sediments are produced from their erosion. These materials are collected and deposited by agents of denudation. In sedimentary basin, they get compacted, cemented and lithified. The lithified sediment will then form sedimentary rocks.which of the following is not true of hydrogen?

How is a conductor different from an insulator?
A. The free movement of electrons within a conductor permits the transfer of charge.
B. The free movement of protons within a conductor permits the transfer of charge.
C. There is no free movement of electrons within a conductor.
D. There is no free movement of protons within a conductor.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Conductors allow for charge transfer through the free movement of electrons. In contrast to conductors, insulators are materials that impede the free flow of electrons from atom to atom and molecule to molecule. ... The insulator serves as a handle for moving the conductor around on top of a lab table
Answer:
1. Electrons surrounding a nucleus are attracted to the protons within it because electrons and protons have opposite charges. Electrons closest to the nucleus are attracted with such a force that they can’t escape from the atom. These electrons tend to shield the protons from electrons that are farther away because electrons have the same charge and repel each other. Electrons that are farther away have less attraction to the protons within the nucleus and are more likely to be detached from the atom.
2. Electrons can be transferred from atoms of one body to atoms of another body through friction. This can occur when one body is rubbed against another or when a liquid flows across a solid. In either case, one body may be given a positive charge while the other body is given a negative charge of the same magnitude. Both charges are developed at the same time. Electrons can also be transferred from one body to another when a charged body comes into contact with an uncharged body. The electrons move in the direction that will equalize the charges; thus, the uncharged body will be given the same charge as the charged body.
3. Free electrons move from points of negative charge to points of positive charge. When these electrons move freely from one point to another with little resistance, the material they’re traveling through is said to be a conductor. Conductors have a large number of free electrons. Insulators, on the other hand, have very few free electrons and offer great resistance to the movement of these electrons. Electric charges produced on one end of a body composed of insulating materials will most likely not spread throughout the body. In a conductor, this charge would spread throughout the entire body. Metals are generally conductors; oils, rubber, air, porcelain, and plastics are good insulators.
4. Lightning is produced by the rapid transfer of free electrons when one of the following conditions exist:
One part of a cloud is positively charged and a neighboring part of the same cloud is negatively charged.
A positively charged cloud comes near a negatively charged cloud.
A cloud with either a positive charge or a negative charge comes near the earth.

A student adds universal indicator to a solution, and the solution turns the color shown below. The solution must be what? view the attachment
Answer:
When universal indicator is added to a solution, the color change can indicate the approximate pH of the solution. Acids cause universal indicator solution to change from green toward red. Bases cause universal indicator to change from green toward purple.
Explanation:
The universal indicator turns the solution in red color then the solution must be strongly acidic. Therefore, option (B) is correct.
What is a universal indicator?A universal indicator can be described as a pH indicator made of a solution of various compounds that exhibits many smooth color changes over a wide range of pH values to indicate the acidity or basicity of the solution.
The chemical indicator is a substance that indicates the color change, or the presence/ absence of a threshold amount of a chemical species, such as an acid or base in a solution.
There are many kinds of indicators such as Universal indicator, methyl orange, litmus, phenolphthalein, and bromothymol blue. They are utilized to tell the acidity and basicity of the solution by color change.
In an acidic medium, the universal indicator will show colors such as red, orange, yellow, orangish-yellow, etc. In the basic medium, the universal indicator will change its color to blue-violet or purple. In a neutral medium, it will show green color.
Therefore, the given color is red so the solution is strongly acidic as it has a very low pH value.
