What happens during the dissolution of wax in kerosene

The wax will totally dissolve in the kerosene.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since wax is more specifically known as paraffin wax which is a heavy-highly nonpolar organic compound which is largely insoluble in water due to its nonpolar nature, when dissolved in kerosene which is a highly nonpolar organic solvent we can infer that the dissolution process will rapidly undergo even at normal conditions due to the intermolecular forces joining them.

Therefore, when wax is dissolved in kerosene a complete dissolution is evidenced due to their common nature.

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
