What is the pH of paraffin wax?
Paraffin wax is a hydrocarbon compound primarily composed of long-chain alkanes. It is a non-polar substance and does not dissolve in water. Therefore, it does not have a pH value as pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. Since paraffin wax does not interact with water in a way that produces hydrogen ions (H⁺) or hydroxide ions (OH⁻), it is considered neutral in that context, but it doesn't have a measurable pH.
