What is the melting point of wax?

Answer 1

i think its 100

---------

The range of the melting point is between 30 0C and 70 0C, depending on the material used.

At a higher temperature the wax is thermally decomposed or ignited.

Answer 2

Many types of waxes are known; each has a different melting point, generally greater than 45 0C.

The term boiling point is not suitable because at high temperature the wax is thermally decomposed.

Answer 3

Candle wax generally refers to two types of waxes. They are paraffin wax and beeswax. Paraffin wax (or simply "paraffin", but see alternative name for kerosene, above) is mostly found as a white, odorless, tasteless, waxy solid, with a typical melting point between about 47 °C to 64 °C ( 116.6°F to 147.2°F). Beeswax has a high melting point range, of 62 to 64 °C (144 to 147 °F). If beeswax is heated above 85 °C (185 °F) discoloration occurs.

Answer 4

It's pretty low - around 30-40 Celsius - but that's actually high for a covalent compound like paraffin. The reason is, paraffin molecules have a long carbon chain of 40 or more carbon atoms, and this makes for a high melting point. Shorter carbon chain covalent compounds, like octane or propane, are liquids or even gases at room temperature, so clearly their melting and boiling points are way lower.

Answer 5

The melting point of paraffin wax is 120 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit (or between

40 0C and 70 0C).

Answer 6

The melting point of bees wax is approximately 63 - 65 °С

Answer 7

The melting point of wax is 137degrees F.

Answer 8

100 degrees farenheit and 190 degrees faranheit

Answer 9

no
