depends on the type of wax. Beeswax candels should float because their density is slightly less than that of water.

Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes because of the density. An object will float in a fluid such as water if its density is less than that of the fluid.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoParafin has a density a little below 1, so anything with a density much below that Eg cork, will float.

Will ice float deeper in water or in paraffin?
Yes because the density of ice is less
Will crude oil float on water or sink?
Most (but not all) oil is less dense than water. That oil which is less dense than water will float. That oil which is denser than water will sink.
Is oil in water soluble or insoluble?
Oil is insoluble in water. If you try to mix them, the oil will just float on top of the water.
How do oil and water separate?
Oil and water separate because oil will float to the top and water will sink to the bottom. The reason oil wil float to the top because oil is non polar while water is compound polar. Separation by decantation and filtration.Separation by decantation and filtration.
What is the densities of oil and water?
Water is 1 g/cm3 while kerosene (or paraffin) is 0.78-0.81 g/cm3
Would a paraffin float in fresh water?
Yes.
Can you mix paraffin oil with glycerin?
No, you can't mix hydrophobic paraffin oil (water insoluble) with a hydrophylic glycerin (water soluble)
Will ice float deeper in water or in paraffin?
Yes because the density of ice is less
What solid is lighter than water but heavier than oil?
That is imposible ======================= Thank you. Now go to your room and study your spelling and punctuation lesson. What we need is a solid with a density less than 1 gm/cm3, and then an oil with a density less than that of the solid we found. Here are a couple of solids that float on water: -- Paraffin wax . . . 0.8 to 0.9 -- Sodium . . . 0.968 The question doesn't specify a particular type of oil. Here are a few I found that are lighter than water, paraffin, and sodium, along with their densities: -- Crude, 48° API . . . . 0.79 -- Crude, Texas . . . . 0.873 -- Vehicle gasoline . . 0.737 -- Kerosene . . . . . . 0.817 -- Olive oil . . . . . . . 0.80 to 0.92 If you add any of these liquids to a tall glass of water, they will float on top of it, and a lump of paraffin or sodium will float at the level where the oil and water meet. (Don't try this at home, at least not with sodium !)
Does mercury float on liquid paraffin?
No.
Do oil sink or float in water?
Float.
Is USP mineral oil soluble in water?
No, it is not. Oil and water do not mix. If you pour oil into water, the oil will float to the surface. If you pour water into oil, the water will sink to the bottom and the oil will float on top.
Will crude oil float on water or sink?
Most (but not all) oil is less dense than water. That oil which is less dense than water will float. That oil which is denser than water will sink.
Why does oil and gas float on water?
Oil and gas are less dense than water therefore will separate and float.
Why do you rubbed paraffin at xylem?
To decrease the rate of transpiration. Paraffin is an oil or wax. The paraffin prevent the water in xylem loose up too much of water during transpiration. Especially in a hot, dry day.
Will vinegar float in oil?
No. Oil will float on vinegar as vinegar has the same density as water.
What objects float in water oil and syrup?
oil
