Some building materials contain small capsules filled with paraffin wax to improve the insulating properties of the materials. The melting and freezing of paraffin inside the capsules in the material helps to regulate temperature. Paraffin wax begins to melt at 37°C37°C.(a) While the wax is melting, is the net flow of thermal energy from the wax to the surroundings or from the surroundings to the wax? Justify your answer.(b) Calculate the amount of thermal energy, in kJkJ, that is required to melt 15.215.2 grams of solid paraffin wax when the temperature of the surroundings is above the melting point of paraffin. (The molar mass of paraffin is 282.62g/mol282.62g/mol, and its molar heat of fusion is 48.78kJ/mol)(c) When paraffin wax melts, its density decreases. Provide a particle-level explanation of this observation.
