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.

The gravity of wax is 0.82 to 0.96, while of water (at 4 degree c) is 1. So, wax does not sink in the water.

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

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.
I think you will find that wax paper is hydrophobic, meaning that it repels water, the water adheres better to itself than the wax paper and only does so because of gravity, that is why the water does not spread out like it would on a table or other substance. The force pushing the water away is strong enough to keep the water in the smallest form possible.
Because home made floor wax is higher quality.
No, wax and water are immiscible.
I use Petroleum Jelly, (Vaseline) in my wax and it lowers the melting point a bit.

No, wax paper is hydrophobic, it should not be able to
Wax repels water/liquid, it doesn't absorb it, so the water forms droplets.
Wax is not evaporated.
Crayons are made of colored wax. Wax in general is removed by placing the item with wax on it into boiling water. The wax will melt and float to the surface of the water.
because its not a liquid its a solid
Bees wax does float in water because it less dense than water. For this reason bees wax is a common material used to make floating candles.
