Petroleum jelly's freezing point is 38 - 45 deg C.
Water and petroleum jelly do not dissolve in each other, regardless of heating. Petroleum jelly is a hydrophobic substance that does not mix with water, as it is composed of hydrocarbons. Heating may alter the viscosity of petroleum jelly, but it won't enable it to dissolve in water.
Petroleum jelly, also known as petrolatum, is not water-based. It is a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum, which is a non-polar substance. Water-based products contain water as the main ingredient, whereas petroleum jelly is oil-based and does not contain any water.
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, its homogeneous because if you take any particular part of the jelly it will be the same as the rest
Yes, petroleum freezes solid at a sufficiently low temperature. In fact, there is only one substance which does not have a solid phase, which is helium. Helium exists only as a gas or a liquid. But everything else will freeze if sufficiently cooled.
No. It will get cold but it will not freeze.
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.
No, contrary to popular belief, petroleum jelly is in fact a jelly.
Petroleum jelly has many uses. Petroleum jelly may be put on a burn to help soothe it. Petroleum jelly may also reduce scarring.
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.
a bit
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.
Yes, "petroleum jelly" is a compound word because it consists of two separate words ("petroleum" and "jelly") that are combined to create a new term.
