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 waste 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.

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.

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).
