What is the percentage of paraffin in paraffin wax?
It is almost 100% paraffin, it is made from wax and water.
Can you mix paraffin oil with glycerin?
No, you can't mix hydrophobic paraffin oil (water insoluble) with a hydrophylic glycerin (water soluble)
Do paraffin and water mix?
Paraffin wax melts at approximately 120 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit, so it would melt in sufficiently hot water -- it would not dissolve, though.
Why is distillation used in chemistry?
>to get a pure sustance (such as water from sea water) >to separate alcohol from water to make distilled spirits such as vodka, >to extract essential oils from plants >to divide crude oil into all of its different components (paraffin, tar, and all of the other substances used as fuel that are extracted)
Do substances in paraffin change when a candle is burned?
candles made of paraffin contain cabon and hydrogen. As it burns, they combine with oxygen to form water and carbon dioxide. . So yes, yes they do :)
What is the percentage of paraffin in paraffin wax?

Which liquid has a higher density between water and paraffin?
Water
How should I seperate paraffin and water?
Separating paraffin (a type of wax) and water can be done through a process called "decantation" or "liquid-liquid separation" because paraffin and water do not mix
Is paraffin denser than water?
because water can hold more mass than paraffin. BOILING POINT: water- 99.98(degree)C paraffin: 370(egree)C
Can you mix paraffin oil with glycerin?

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.
Is paraffin water used as a scent?
yes it is
What physical state is paraffin in when it burns?
Paraffin is thermally decomposed by burning; carbon dioxide and water vapors are produced.
Would a paraffin float in fresh water?
Yes.
Where is paraffin wax found?
Paraffin wax is produced by refining petroleum. All crude oil contains paraffin, and one of the byproducts of the refining process is a wax-and-oil mix called slack wax. When they separate the wax and oil, they get paraffin. So...paraffin wax comes from every country that has an oil refinery.
What are the two products when paraffin burns in plenty of air?
When paraffin burns in plenty of air, carbon dioxide and water vapor are formed
Do paraffin and water mix?
Paraffin wax melts at approximately 120 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit, so it would melt in sufficiently hot water -- it would not dissolve, though.
