Would hexane get rid of wax?
Paraffin wax (a nonpolar solute) should dissolve nicely in hexane (a nonpolar solvent). However, petroleum ether is probably cheaper than hexane and would work just as well.
What kinds of solutes expect to dissolve in nonpolar solvents?
Nonpolar solvents are typically unable to dissolve polar or ionic solutes, as their molecular structure lacks the necessary polarity or charge to interact with these solutes. However, nonpolar solvents can dissolve nonpolar solutes, such as hydrocarbons or organic compounds with long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
