it is liquid
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.
Most candles are made of paraffin wax. Paraffin wax is made from petroleum in the oil refining process. It is naturally clear and odorless when burned, though most candles include dyes and fragrances.
Paraffin wax does not have a positive charge, as it is a neutral substance.
When paraffin wax is heated, it melts and turns into a liquid state. Upon further heating, the liquid paraffin wax can begin to vaporize and produce fumes. If the temperature is too high, paraffin wax can catch fire.
Paraffin candle way could be used in a paraffin wax spa bath, but only if it contains no scents or colors. Paraffin in candle wax often has additives that are not approved for contact with the skin.
The solubility of paraffin wax depends on the particular solvent. Paraffin wax, which is a petroleum by-product that is refined and a solid, will not dissolve in water or alcohol. However, it is soluble in carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, benzene, and ether.
I have made candles using paraffin wax. Paraffin oil is kerosene.

Yes, paraffin is soluble in alcohol. I have personally dissolved paraffin in alcohol. But I can tell you that it dissolves very slowly unless the alcohol is heated. If you use the right proportions of paraffin and alcohol, what you get is a paraffin paste. You can use this to wax furniture, etc.
James Young, a Scottish chemist, is credited with the discovery of paraffin wax in the 1850s. Young found a way to extract paraffin wax from petroleum during his work in a shale oil production plant.

Paraffin wax is a white or colorless soft solid that is used as a lubricant, when this is melted down it becomes a paraffin liquid. Paraffin oil is used in cosmetics and medical settings and is a highly refined mineral oil.

Americans typically refer to paraffin as "wax."
Paraffin wax is composed from solid hydrocarbons.
No, paraffin is not an acid. Paraffin is a type of hydrocarbon that is often used in wax products, but it does not have acidic properties.
