No, petroleum jelly is not water-based. It is made from petroleum byproducts and forms a protective barrier on the skin to lock in moisture. It is not soluble in water.
Yes, liquid petroleum can turn into a solid in low temperatures. Paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum, is an example of a solid material that is formed from the cooling and solidification of liquid petroleum.
No, it is a petroleum/wax/oil based compound. Electrons do not freely travel between molecules, in that, it's a dielectric. Similarly to the dielectric fluid in a transformer, petroleum jelly can be used as an insulator. It's thermal conduction isn't as good.
Yes, petroleum jelly is considered homogeneous because it has a uniform composition throughout, with the same properties and components in all parts of the mixture.
Petroleum jelly can clog the plant's stomata, which are tiny openings on the surface of leaves that are essential for gas exchange. This can inhibit the plant's ability to get the carbon dioxide it needs for photosynthesis. As a result, using petroleum jelly on plants can hinder their growth and overall health.
If you put it into your freezer then it freezes.
Yes, petroleum jelly can freeze at temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). When frozen, it becomes solid and may change in texture and consistency.
Petroleum jelly does not have a specific freeze point because it is a mixture of hydrocarbons that can solidify at different temperatures depending on the composition. However, it typically solidifies at temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Petroleum jelly itself does not harden; it is a semi-solid, waxy substance at room temperature. However, when exposed to extreme cold temperatures, petroleum jelly can become more solid and difficult to spread.
Petroleum jelly has many uses. Petroleum jelly may be put on a burn to help soothe it. Petroleum jelly may also reduce scarring.
No, contrary to popular belief, petroleum jelly is in fact a jelly.
No, petroleum jelly does not contain latex. Petroleum jelly is made from petroleum, while latex is derived from the milky sap of rubber trees. They are two different substances with different chemical compositions.
No, the contents of jelly will not freeze.
Petroleum jelly is made from petrolatum, a mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum. The name "petroleum jelly" comes from the fact that it is derived from petroleum, not necessarily from being an actual jelly made from oil.
You don't put eggs in petroleum jelly to preserve.

No, petroleum jelly does not contain gasoline. Petroleum jelly is made from a mixture of mineral oils and waxes, while gasoline is a refined petroleum product used as fuel for engines.
