Waxes are is a diverse class of organic compounds that are lipophilic, malleable solids near ambient temperatures and include higher alkanes and lipids, with melting points above about 40 °C.
The chemical equation for melting of wax is
C18H38(s) −→∆ C18H38(l)
2 C18H38(l) + 55 O2 → 36 CO2 + 38 H2O.
On heating, the solid wax is melted to form liquid wax.
