Question

Is the melting point and freezing point of wax and ice the same?​

Answer 1

Usually freezing means turning into a solid from a liquid. Liquid candle wax will turn into a solid between 120° and 140°F. ... “The freezing point is an established point 2 to 3 degrees below the melting point. A solid wax will remain solid, at varying hardness, as long as its temperature remains below the freezing point

Answer 2

No, the melting point and the freezing point of wax and ice are not the same.

Explanation:

• The melting point of the wax is approximately between $46\;and\;68^{o\;}C$ . And the freezing point of wax is $57^{o\;}C$ .
• However, the melting point of ice is $0^{o\;}C$ . And the freezing point of ice is $32^oF$.
• wax is a white, odorless solid with a typical melting point having a density of approximately $0.9\;g/cm^3$ . Wax has low thermal conductivity, a high heat capacity, and is insoluble in water.
• When the temperature $H_2O$ of falls to $0$ degrees Celsius and below, it begins to change to ice. As it freezes, it releases heat to its surroundings.
