Question

explain why food doesn't spoil as fast when its refrigerated as it would at room temperature

Answer 1

Explain why food doesn't spoil as fast when it is refrigerated as it would at room temperature. Because of the lowered temperature, there are less collisions, which slows down the reaction! Due to decomposition reactions with oxygen or carbon dioxide in the air, meat begins to feel slimy and smell spoiled.
