It depends on the temperature and the room condition of which the food is in at the time . Usually the warmer the room is, the faster the food will decay. Also some microorganisms may die or move to other foods during the process of decaying.

Why do you think chemistry will not change the decay rate of an isotope?
It depends what is meant by 'decay'. It will not alter the atomic decay rate but elements can be chemically affected by the environment which can chemically decay them.
What is the decay rate of heart cells?
the decay rate of carbon is 14 in heart muscle cells,
As the temperature of a radioactive sample increases the rate of the nuclear decay?
It stays the same. Temperature has no effect on the rate of nuclear decay.
How the radioactive decay rate be changed?
The rate cannot be changed.
Does the model of decay accurately represent the decay of a radioactive subsatnce?
If we are dating a substance on unknown age, no, this is because, we are assuming we know how much substance was initially present, also we assume there has been no contamination, lastly we assume the decay rate has always been the same.
Decay always happens at the same rate in ecosystems?
decay always happens in ecosystems
Why does less decay happen in frosty conditions?
slows down the rate at which enzymes work or completely stops them preventing decay
What could happen to an organism after it dies?
In the wild it will decay and turn into plantlife When buried in a coffin it will decay, but at a slower rate When mummified, it will decay at an even slower rate When air-locked (stuck in tar, wrapped up, etc.) it won't decay at all
How does freezing prevent food decay?
It slows the reaction rate down, slowing the decay, and slowing the dispersion from infection sites through the foodstuff.

What makes radioisotopes useful for dating objects?
They decay at a predictable rate.
Can paper decay?
Yes, but the rate of decay depends on the conditions.
Does decay happen faster in dry or humid weather?
Decay happens at a faster rate in humid weather. Humidity is caused by excess moisture in the air. Water is notorious for decomposing organic materials faster.
