The\xa0decomposition\xa0of plant and animal organic waste by the action of microbes\xa0into\xa0useful\xa0compost\xa0is an\xa0exothermic reaction\xa0because large amount of energy is released\xa0in\xa0this process. It is different from other chemical\xa0reactions,as they need energy\xa0to\xa0break the bond.\xa0According to the circumstances mentioned in the question that, The\xa0decomposition of vegetable matter into compost\xa0is said to be exotherimic in nature…but all\xa0decomposition reactions\xa0involve the absortion of enegry ; i.e. they are\xa0endothermic. That\’s why it is an\xa0exothermic reaction.
