Why is it important to know the melting and freezing point of paraffin wax?

Question

I am doing a lab report for science , and our lab was to figure out the melting and freezing point of paraffin wax. The question asks how it is important to know, and i don't know an answer to that. can someone help?

Answer 1

1) The melting and freezing points would help you in determining how much energy you need to make wax candles or other wax figures without wasting fuel or energy.

2) Under what temperature conditions must you maintain so you do not destroy your candles and wax figures.

Answer 2

i'm not sure but my educated guess would be if you were using it for something you would need the proper conditions so it dosnt melt or freeze
