Beeswax is produced by bees. Paraffin wax is extracted from crude oil as a by-product while producing petroleum. Most beeswax items usually contain a small amount of paraffin wax.
In the experiment of determining melting point why each time fresh paraffin liquid should be taken?
Paraffin oil is nontoxic, noncorrosive and stable.
What liquid doesn't react with sodium?
One that doesn't -- or at least reacts very slowly -- is liquid paraffin (example: drugstore mineral oil).
What will happen if your horse is pregnant and is given liquid paraffin?

Why liquid paraffin is prefer while using oil immersion objective?
Liquid paraffin, also known as mineral oil, is commonly used with oil immersion objectives in microscopy because it has a refractive index similar to that of glass and the immersion medium used in the objective. This reduces the loss of light due to refraction and increases the numerical aperture, allowing for better resolution and increased imaging quality. Additionally, liquid paraffin has a high viscosity which helps to prevent the formation of air bubbles and ensures a stable imaging medium.
Can paraffin oil be used to produce olive oil?
No. Paraffin is mineral oil (petroleum). Olive oil is only made from olives.
