An online review of suppliers of paraffin wax indicates a range of specific gravity for paraffin wax, from 0.82 to 0.96. The variation arises from the degree of refining - the less refined waxes a higher percentage of paraffin oil and are consequently lighter (have a lower SG). More highly refined paraffin wax has much lower retained oil ( approx. 0.5%), and are therefore much denser.
You need a new wax ring.
Yes.
Yes, water beads up on wax paper because its cohesive forces are greater than the adhesive forces.
The water trap, which traps sewer gases, is built into the toilet. Without a wax ring you'll have sewer gases entering the house. Waste water leaking onto the floor is the least concern. Regards, Steve D

Wax typically floats on water due to being less dense than the water. However, the specific gravity of wax can vary depending on its composition and temperature, which might affect whether it sinks or floats.
Sealing wax typically sinks when placed in water due to its density being higher than that of water. However, this can depend on the specific composition of the sealing wax.
Yes because if wax floats in Bayer then it will definitely float in salt water because the salt in the sea water acts as a supporting agent and will help it to float. :)
two things. surface tension and gravity. surface tension is the molecular bond of the water binding the molecules together on the surface of the droplet, preventing them from spreading out. The addition of a solute (like soap) to the water can break these bonds causing it to spread. Also the gravity of the water molecules acting on one another want to form a spherical shape, where the molecules on the surface of the droplet will be equidistant from the center of gravity of the droplet. The water droplet is too small for the force of earth's gravity to overcome the surface tension, therefore becoming more negligible as the droplets become smaller. The wax in the wax paper prevents the paper from absorbing the water.
No, wax and water are immiscible.
No, soy wax is insoluble in water. When soy wax is introduced to water, it will not dissolve or mix with the water.
No, wax is not soluble in salt water. Wax is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water, and salt water will not break down the wax molecules to dissolve it.
Because home made floor wax is higher quality.
Wax has a lower melting point than boiling water, so when placed in boiling water, the heat from the water causes the wax to melt. The molecules in the wax absorb the heat energy from the water, which ultimately leads to the wax melting.
Ice (solid water) will float easily in its liquid form due to its lower density compared to liquid water.
The density of wax is less than water because wax is less dense than water. In other words, the mass of wax for a given volume is less than the mass of water for the same volume. This is why wax tends to float on water.
No, wax paper is hydrophobic, it should not be able to
