Car wax mostly contains beeswax and carnauba wax. These large hydrocarbons are ideal to use because they _____ water.

2 answers:

6 0

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.

A certain first order reaction has a half-life of 54. 3 s. How long will it take (in s) for the reactant concentration to decrea

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

82.4 s

Explanation:

Find the NUMBEr of half lives...then multiply by 54.3

2.27 = 6.5 (1/2)^n

log (2.27/6.5) / log (1/2) = n = 1.52 half lives

1.52 * 54.3 = 82.4 s

What type of grass is poisioness

ikadub [295]

Answer: Tall fescue can be harmful to grazing cattle and horses because the grass can become tough and infected with endophytes, causing poor grazing. Switchgrass and tall fescue are less likely to be poisonous to dogs, cats or humans than to horses or cattle, but eating either of them might cause stomach upset.

The line graph shows the heights of plants grown in fertilized and unfertilized soil. Based on this information, what will most

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

g) Neither plant should increase by 1 cm in height.

Explanation:

See the graph for this question on the figure attached.

The growing of the plant A is represented by the line that goes above the other. At start, that line has a slope that rises about 0.75 cm ( height increase) in 1 day. From the day 2 and forward the slope of the line decreases. The line reaches its highest point about at day 4 and seems to start decreasing. Thus, you should predict that on the day six it most likely does not increase in height.

The growing of the plant B is represented by the line drawn below the other. As for the plant B, the growing decreases with the number of days. Between the days 4 and 5 the line is almost flat, which means that most likely this plant will not grow on the day six or grow less than 0.5 cm.

Thus, for both plants you can say that on day six, most likley, neither should increase by 1 cm in height (option g).

.7 liters of CO represents how many molecules?

Ronch [10]

Answer:

1.88 × 10²² Molecules of CO

Explanation:

At STP for an ideal gas,

Volume = Mole × 22.4 L/mol

Or,

Mole = Volume / 22.4 L/mol

Mole = 0.7 L / 22.4 L/mol

Mole = 0.03125 moles

Now,

No. of Molecules = Moles × 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules/mol

No. of Molecules = 0.03125 × 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules/mol

No. of Molecules = 1.88 × 10²² Molecules of CO
