No. It is a wax.
Paraffin is neither an acid nor an alkaline. It is a type of hydrocarbon wax typically derived from petroleum or shale oil and is chemically neutral.
Paraffin wax is composed from solid hydrocarbons.
The chemical equation for the reaction between nitric acid (HNO3) and a paraffin hydrocarbon like a saturated alkane is complex due to multiple possible reactions. Generally, nitric acid can react with paraffins to form nitrated organic compounds and release nitrogen oxides, which can further react with excess nitric acid to form more nitrated products. The specific reaction and products would depend on the conditions of the reaction (concentration, temperature, etc.) and the structure of the paraffin.
Paraffin oil is used in instruments as a lubricant due to its low viscosity and ability to reduce friction between moving parts. Although benzoic acid has a higher melting point compared to paraffin oil, it is not commonly used as a lubricant in instruments due to its acidic nature and potential reactivity with other materials.
I have made candles using paraffin wax. Paraffin oil is kerosene.

the basic formulla for paraffin is CnH(2n+2) They are stable, not attacked by sulphuric acid and other oxidising agent.
Containers made of paraffin and poly(ethylene) and -(propylene).

Paraffin has covalent bonds.

For Paraffin candles: mostly paraffin - which is a mixture of hydrocarbons ranging from about 20 to 40 carbons per molecule. For tallow candles: mostly fatty acids including Oleic acid (C18-1, ω-9), Palmitic acid (C16:0), and Stearic acid (C18:0).
The process of breaking down paraffin is called paraffin degradation. It involves breaking down the paraffin molecules into smaller components through chemical or biological means.
Examples of such liquids include, Honey, Sulphuric acid , Glycerin, paraffin oil and many others.
