Decomposition occurs because of oxygen and bacteria. Without decomposition the earth would become dry and lifeless. It a series of things that happen. Like the food chain if one fails they all.

∙ 13y agodecay is caused when detritvores break up dead animals or plants and increase the surface area. microorgasims then complete the process of decay.

What kind of reaction occur if vanadium compound fluoride broke down into vanadium and fluoride?
It will be a decomposition reaction, which may be Endothermic.
What is the decomposition of nitrogen containing molecules into ammonia?
Ammonification is the decomposition of nitrogen containing molecules into ammonia.
What is the equation for the decomposition of nitrogen trifluoride?
Decomposition equation:2 NF3 ----> N2 + 3 F2
What are the chemical products of decomposition?
The chemical products of decomposition depend on what is decomposing. That it, it depends on the reactant.
Why silver chloride turns grey in sunlight?
Silver chloride turns grey due to decomposition reaction. This decomposition reaction is called photoletic decomposition. 2AgCl gives Ag + Cl2 (silver (silver) (chloride) Chloride)
What type of reaction occur when complex compound are broken down into simpler substance?
This kind of reaction is called "decomposition".
Does hydrolysis occur in the decomposition of iron ore?
Yes
What temperature does thermal decomposition occur at for magnesium carbonate?
Seng huat
What is the term that applies to all of the decomposition reactions that occur in metabolism?
anabolism
What chemical changes occur to cause the food to go mouldy?
Decomposition, degradation
What might not occur sometimes so that a whole organism ends up preserved?
Decomposition
What will occur if your compost does not get enough air?
Anaerobic decomposition is what happens when compostable materials do not get enough air. Aerobic breakdown occurs when proper aeration is achieved whereas landfill-like decomposition happens in its absence.
What kind of reaction occur if vanadium compound fluoride broke down into vanadium and fluoride?
It will be a decomposition reaction, which may be Endothermic.
What is the difference between disintegration and decomposition of rock?
Disintegration is fragmentation of rock and there is no chemical change during or after this process. Decomposition is resulting in the destruction of some or all of the unstable minerals and thus chemical change occur and new minerals are formed.
What is the common way reactions occur?
Examples of chemical reactions: neutralization, thermal decomposition, synthesis, single displacement, double displacement.
What will happen when lead nitrate is heated strongly?
A thermal decomposition reaction occur: lead oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen are obtained.
Why does silver compounds cause paper to turn brown under UV rays?
A photochemical reaction of decomposition occur and silver is released.
