A container of melted paraffin wax is allowed to stand at room temperature until the was solidifies what is the direction of heat flow as the liquid wax solidifies?
To solidify, the paraffin has to get rid of excess heat, so the heat flow is outward.
When wax solidifies the kinetic energy of the particles in the wax...?
No change in kinetic energy and a decrease in potential energy. The potential energy becomes more negative as the bonds are formed during solidification (potential energy is zero when the object is a gas and reduces from that point as the state changes).
Why is the smaller diameter candle burns faster than bigger diameter candle?
candles burn as much wax as the wick can bring to the flame. It is typically a constant amount of wax being burned. Smaller diameter candles have less wax and therefor run out of wax to burn sooner.
The element in a thermostat that is sensitive to temperature changes is what?
In a car thermostat the element is wax
Does the surrounding temperature affect the speed at which candle burns?
Typically, a room temperature candle will burn faster than a cold candle. A rate of burn is determined by the wick effect. The flame heats the wax beneath the wick, pulling the wax upwards along the wick to provide fuel. The heat evaporates at the top of the flame. Wax that is cold takes more energy to heat and melt, thus slowing the rate at which the wax is consumed
When heating wax why does the temperature stay fairly constant?
When there is a change of state occuring (in this case from solid to liquid), temperature will remain constant. Energy is absorbed to weaken the intermolecular forces between the wax particles.

Why candle wax doesn't need a cold place to get solid again?
Wax doesn't need a cold place to solidify again because normal wax tends to stay in soldi state in room temperature, hence it solidifies when left alone
Is bees wax its own poo?
No. Bees have four pairs of wax glands on the underside of their abdomens. Liquid wax is extruded from the glands and solidifies on contact with air. The result is flakes of wax about the size of a pin head.
Can you bend wax?
Depending on the temperature, yes you can bend wax.
What is the working temperature warm wax and hot wax?
warm wax - 40-43 degrees
Who makes bees wax?
Young worker bees make beeswax. They have glands on the underside of their abdomens that exude liquid wax which solidifies as soon as it comes into contact with air. The bees then take these pinhead-sized flakes of wax and work them with their mandibles and use them to make their honeycomb.
What temperature does wax turn into a liquid?
Wax melts at 300 degrees F
Why does the wax not freeze at the top of candle?
The temperature is higher than the melting point of the wax.
Temperature of melting wax in celsius?
It depends upon nature of wax, usually wax melts between 40 to 50 Celsius.
What should the temperature of warm wax?
Warm wax should be heated to 40-43 degrees.
Can you solidify candle wax after it melts?
Yes. If the wax is allowed to return to room temperature it will solidify.
