Wax is definitely susceptible to heat and with the application of heat such as burning a candle, the solid wax gets converted into a liquid. This fact can be used to remove ear wax also actually using hollow candles that will melt the ear wax and allow it to be drained out of the ear.
Answer:The chemical energy
Explanation:because The chemical energy in the food you eat is changed into another kind of chemical energy that your body can use. Your body then uses that energy to give you the kinetic energy that you use in everything you do.
Rates can be calculated with Arrhenius equation k = Axe^(-Ea/RT)
a. temperature affects the rate - imagine you are making coffee, so coffee crystals are boiled faster on higher temperature. Simplified but makes sense.
b. Ea is activation energy. Imagine, while preparing coffee, some of ingredients change to a different one, so there is a A -> B reaction (simplified). Now, Ea is energy barrier that stands on the arrow of this reaction, preventing A to transform to B. If Ea is small, reaction will go easy (not fast!), if Ea is large –reaction will not happen so easy (you ll have to use catalyst for example)
