When molten candle wax solidifies is that a chemical reaction or not?l
andrey2020 [161]

Yes, when molten candle wax solidifies it is a chemical reaction

<u>Explanation:</u>

Basically Wax is crystalline so once the candle light melts it freezes taking back the solid state to the room temperature.

When the room temperature is below the freezing point, the liquid candle wax, turns into solid state again, therefore this process is called solidification. The process of freezing or solidification is a process when an object turns liquid and freezes back to solid state.

Indeed, Yes, when molten candle wax solidifies it is a chemical reaction

How can chemical weathering contribute to physical weathering?
lora16 [44]

A-leads to the abrasion of rocks and minerals

A-dense vegetation cover

True

Explanation:

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.

Agent of weathering are wind, water and glacier.

Chemical weathering contributes to physical weathering in that it leads to the abrasion of rocks and minerals.

During chemical weathering, a rock chemically combines with materials in the environment and weakens it.

When physical weathering processes are induced, grains produced independently weakening of bonds in rocks grind against one another and wears each other off.

An area with a dense vegetation cover undergoes rapid chemical weathering:

  • Plant roots penetrates deep into the rock and increases the surface area of chemical action.
  • Plants produce chemicals that combines with rocks and causes them to decay.
  • Since the area is always moist, chemical action becomes more severe.

Buildings and statues made of stone are subjected to the same degree of weathering as rocks exposed naturally.

This is true.

Statues and buildings weather just like rocks we find in nature.

It is the same sunshine and rain that impacts rocks that also impacts buildings and statues.

So they degrade at the same rate except they are protected.

a 32 gram radioactive sample has a half-life of 2 days how much of the original sample remains after 6 days
bixtya [17]
First, we will get the "n", the number of half lives, it is the elapsed time over the half life. In the problem, the time is measured in days, so we have 

6/2 = 3 

to get the ending amount of radioactive sample, we have

32g x (1/2)³ = 4 grams of radioactive sample ⇒ the amount left after 6 days
