Mixing liquid wax with water is generally not effective, as wax is hydrophobic and does not dissolve in water. However, you can create an emulsion by heating the wax to a liquid state and then vigorously mixing it with water, often adding an emulsifier to help stabilize the mixture. It's essential to keep the mixture continuously agitated to prevent separation. Be cautious, as combining hot wax with water can create splattering or steam.
No, soy wax is insoluble in water. When soy wax is introduced to water, it will not dissolve or mix with the water.
Wax is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water molecules and does not mix with water. This is because wax molecules are non-polar, while water molecules are polar. The polar nature of water molecules makes it difficult for them to interact with non-polar molecules like wax.
Water and candle wax would not form a solution because they do not mix at a molecular level. Instead, they would form a mixture, where the candle wax would remain separate as droplets or particles within the water.
Water is a liquid that does not mix with oil due to differences in polarity and molecular structure. The molecules in water are polar, while the molecules in oil are nonpolar, causing them to repel each other rather than mix.
No. Hydrophilic means "water loving". Waxes and oils are generally hydrophobic, which literally means 'scared of water' -- they don't mix with water easily. If you place a drop of water on a piece of candle wax, it will bead up.

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

Gasses and Liquids do not simply "mix".

Hot candle wax is a liquid. When the wax is heated, it melts and transforms into a liquid form.
Ice (solid water) will float easily in its liquid form due to its lower density compared to liquid water.
it may seam like a solid and a liquid, and it is! its called oobleck. No... oobleck isn't a made up word!! when u mix cornstarch and water, it makes oobleck. If u tilt your hand the oobleck will run down your hand like a liquid, but when u touch it... it is a solid. weird right?
