What happens to the temperature of wax as it melts?

It is a solid and then turns into a liquid  But once it has liquefied, the temperature will rise sharply.The flash point of wax is typically above 300° F. Never let your wax exceed 250 degree F.

Explanation:

It is solid at room temperature and begins to melt above approximately 37 °C (99 °F), and its boiling point is above 370 °C (698 °F). Common applications for paraffin wax include lubrication, electrical insulation, and candles; dyed paraffin wax can be made into crayons.

Boiling point: > 370 °C (698 °F)

Melting point: 37 °C (99 °F; 310 K)

Flash point: 200–240 °C (392–464 °F; 473–513

Solubility in water: ~1 mg/L

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
