These waxes are highly hydrophobic (repellant) of water, so the correct answer would be D) repel.

The wax coating put on the car creates a water repellant sheila that causes the water to bead up on the surface of the wax, rather than directly impacting the paint and surface of the body of the car. This prolongs the life and quality of the appearance of the car.

Answer: D) repel

Explanation:

Car wax is particularly used after car washing and polishing. This will allow the addition of a layer of shine to the car. The composition of beeswax and carnauba wax are the two additives which are included in the car wax. This composition is hydrophobic in nature which means the wax components will not mix with water or any other solvent and will help in retaining the shine over the body of car.

On the basis of the above explanation, the wax components will repel water.

What is the concentration of a saturated solution of SrSO4? SrSO4 has a Ksp of 3.2 x 10–7
Andrej [43]
SrSo4 = Sr(2+) + SO4(2-)

Let’s say that the initial concentration of SrSo4 was 1. ( or we have 1 mole of this reagent).

When The reaction occurs part of SrSo4is dissociated. And we get X mole Sr(2+) and So4(2-).
Ksp=[Sr(2+)]*[SO4(2-)]
X^2=3.2*10^-7
X=5.6*10^-4

Explain why even though it may be sunny outside its not as warm during the summer ​
Lapatulllka [165]

For part of our orbit the northern half of Earth is tilted toward the Sun. This is summer in the northern hemisphere; there are longer periods of daylight, the Sun is higher in the sky, and the Sun's rays strike the surface more directly, giving us warmer temperatures.

What does AS> O mean?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

ΔS> 0 means Letter A

Explanation:

Processes that involve an increase in entropy of the system (ΔS > 0) are very often spontaneous; however, examples to the contrary are plentiful. By expanding consideration of entropy changes to include the surroundings, we may reach a significant conclusion regarding the relation between this property and spontaneity. In thermodynamic models, the system and surroundings comprise everything, that is, the universe, and so the following is true:

\displaystyle \Delta {S}_{\text{univ}}=\Delta {S}_{\text{sys}}+\Delta {S}_{\text{surr}}
