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.

in which of the following is the symbol for the ion and the number of electrons it contains given correctly? *
gregori [183]

Answer:Number of electrons that are present in an atom is determined by the electronic configuration of that atom.

If an ion is carrying a positive charge, it means that the atom has lost electrons and if an ion is carrying a negative charge, it means that the atom has gained electrons.

For the given options:

Option A: The atomic number of hydrogen atom is 1 and the electronic configuration for  ion will be:  

Thus, this atom does not have any electrons.

Option B: The atomic number of bromine atom is 35 and the electronic configuration for  ion will be:  

Thus, this atom has 36 electrons.

Option C: The atomic number of aluminium atom is 13 and the electronic configuration for  ion will be:

If 335 g water at 35.5C loses 5750 J of heat, what is the final temperature of the water?
White raven [17]

Answer:

The final temperature is  39.58 degree Celsius

Explanation:

As we know

Q = m * c * change in temperature

Specific heat of water (c) = 4.2 joules per gram per Celsius degree

Substituting the given values we get  -

5750 = 335 * 4.2 * (X - 35.5)

X = 39.58 degree Celsius
