Paraffin wax is a colorless and translucent hard wax which is mainly composed of a mixture of alkanes. This mixture indicates solid straight-chain hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n+2.
Wax is a class of compounds, not a single compound. Paraffin wax is a mixture of alkanes with carbon number around 20-40: C20H42 to C40H82.
paraffin is a common name for alkanes. its general formula is CnH2n+2
Wax is not a single chemical compound and does not have any proper molecular formula. Most wax is a mixture of paraffin hydrocarbons with from 10 to 30 carbon atoms per molecule.
Many types of waxes are known; and waxes are mixtures and only rarely a single compound.
The Chemical Formula for Paraffin is CnH2n+2.
Approx- C20H42
there is none there is none there is none

A chemical name for the main ingredient of a candle is "paraffin", but this is a generic chemical name and does not correspond to any exact formula. It can be written generically as CnH(2n + 2), where n represents a collection of positive integers that are all high enough for the compounds represented for a particular choice of n to be solids at room temperature.
Melting candle wax is a chemical change. Why? Because when you cook or burn candle wax it melts so it is a chemical change.

Energy has no chemical formula as it is not a chemical.
Some wax burns, and as it does so, chemical changes occurs. Wax converts to CO2, CO, and H2O. That is an exothermic reaction The rest of the wax melts with the increased temperature. That is the physical change.

yes am serious.that is why am asking what are chemical ingredient to make tire black wax.
It is a physical change, from a solid to a liquid. The chemical composition of the wax remains unchanged.
