Which of the following describes the role of water in organic matter decomposition?
a) it is required for microbial growth
b) it can slow microbial metabolism
c) it enhances decomposition
d) all of these
Homework Answers
Ans. Option D is the correct answer.
EXPLANATIONS:- water is neccessarily for the decomposition because it enhances the decomposition process by speeding up the microbial growth. It also acts as a solvent. It solves the material. Water is necessary for the microbial metabolism too.

The organic matter in a 0.9578 g sample of ointment was eliminated by ashing, following which the solid residue of ZnO was dissolved in acid. Treatment with (NH4)2C2O4 resulted in the formation of the sparingly soluble ZnC2O4. The solid was filtered, washed and then redissolved in dilute acid. The liberated H2C2O4 required 38.21 mL of 0.01678 M KMnO4. Calculate the % ZnO in the medication.
