What is a process of decomposition?
The process of decomposition of an electrolyte, by passing an electric current from an outside source through it, is known as electrolysis. For example, when an electric current is passed through acidified water, water is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen.
Do dead bodies float on water because of decomposition?
Sort of, its the gasses produced by those bacteria that makes it float.
How could sugar speed up the decomposition process?
Sugar will speed up the decomposition process because sugar does not melt, it will decompose. Decomposing sugar produces oxygen and water that certain bacteria and microbes love and then they are attracted to the area causing more decomposition in that area.
What effects the decomposition of human remains?
I'm not an expert but generally, bacteria. If you where in a bactaria free case, you would not decompose. Decomposition is generally the body being eaten by bacteria. It doesn't happen when your alive as your blood is still flowing and your active. The rate of decomposition would be affected by the amount of bacteria where you where. Other factors such as salt water can however have preservitive effects. Hope I helped.
What is the difference between abiotic and biotic decomposition?
There are a couple of subtle differences between abiotic and biotic decomposition. Those are that biotic things are living and abiotics are not. As such, biotic things decompose with bacteria and abiotic things are typically broken down by other substances like water.
Is decomposition of water into its elements a physical process?
The decomposition is a chemical process.
What are products of water decomposition?
H2o
The decomposition of water can be brought about by?
electrolysis
What is the relationship between the equations for the decomposition of water and the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to form water?
They are reversible reactions. 2H2 + O2 ----> 2H2O (formation of water) 2H2O ----> 2H2 + O2 (decomposition of water)
What drives the decomposition of water in an electrolysis experiment?
Its may demands on the condition Where its from collect & Where also to
What is the balanced eqauation for the decomposition of water?
36 graMS
Can thermal decomposition of water be reversed?
yes but not easily
What elements are commonly found in decomposition?
its nitrogen water and oxygen.
Is decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen a chemical process?
Yes.
What is the temperature of water decomposition?
Purely thermal decomposition of water begins around 1800 degrees Kelvin at 1 ATM. By about 2500 degrees Kelvin, approximately 50% of the water is in a molecular configuration other than H2O. By approximately 3500 Kelvin, nearly 100% of the water has decomposed into atomic H and O.
Why do food burn when the water evaporates?
After water evaporation begin the thermal decomposition of food components.
Water carbon and nitrogen are released back into the atmosphere during?
decomposition
