Answer:

The wax will totally dissolve in the kerosene.

Step-by-step 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.

Best regards.
