Explanation:

Wax is a solid, so it's molecules will be held closer to each other by strong intermolecular forces of attraction.

As a result, when cooled down then wax obtains a define shape and volume.  

On the other hand, when wax is heated then its molecules gain kinetic energy due to which there occurs more number of collisions between its particles. As a result, its molecules will move away from each other.

This will lead to change in state of wax from solid to liquid.

Wax molecules have most of their weak van der waals interactions and other hydrophobic interactions decrease and thus most of them are broken between these lipid substances, allowing for the increased molecular movement of these substances. As there are fewer interactions between similar compounds.

Given that a 12.00 g milk chocolate bar contains 8.000 g of sugar, calculate the percentage of sugar present in 12.00 g of milk
neonofarm [45]
So in order for us to know the percentage of sugar present in a 12.00 g of milk chocolate, what we are going to do is that, we just have to divide 8 by 12 and multiply in by 100 and we get 66.67. Therefore, the percentage of sugar present in 12.00 g of milk chocolate bar is 66.67%. Hope this answers your question. Have a great day!

What power source uses the earths internal heat
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Geothermal power comes from Earth's internal heat

Explanation:

The description applied to power sources tends to match the names applied to the source of energy. Sometimes Latin, or other word derivations are used.

For example, "hydro-" refers to water, so it is no surprise that hydroelectric power comes from the movement of water. Of course, "nuclear" refers to the nuclei of the atoms that are split to release energy in a nuclear power plant. Similarly, "geo-" refers to Earth, and "thermal" refers to heat, so "geothermal" energy is the name given to energy derived from Earth's heat.

Is work done whenever you hold a heavy object for a long time?
AnnZ [28]

No, work is not done whenever you hold a heavy object for a long time

<h3>What is work done ?</h3>

The result of a force's displacement and its component of force exerted by the object in the direction of displacement is what is known as the force's work. When we push a block with some force, the body moves quickly and work is completed.

  • No work, as that term is used here, is done until the object is moved in some way and a component of the force travels along the path that the object is moved. Because there is no displacement when holding a heavy object still, energy is not transferred to it.

What are the functions of ammonia in the solvay process​
enot [183]
The ammonia gas is absorbed in the concentrated brine to produce aqueous sodium chloride and aqueous ammonia. This ammoniation process is exothermic, so energy is released as heat. The ammonia tower eventually needs to be cooled.
