Decomposition.
No, not if there's no meat on it.
Depends on the temperature of the meat.
no but it makes it taste good
Yes. Even though that is cool, the meat will spoil and that temperature could support the growth of pathogens. Even if held at 40°F, meat will eventually spoil.
Yes, cooked meat can spoil if not stored properly. Spoilage can occur due to the growth of bacteria, molds, or yeasts on the meat, leading to changes in color, texture, smell, and taste. It is important to refrigerate cooked meat promptly, store it at the correct temperature, and consume it within a safe timeframe to prevent spoilage and foodborne illness.
How long it will take for raw meat to spoil will depend upon the conditions in which it is stored and it's use by date. If the meat is left out at room temperature on a warm day, it will likely spoil in several hours but on a cool day, it could take 24 hours to spoil. Stored in a refrigerator, raw meat would take 3 to 4 days to spoil if it is still within its use by date.
