VII- Answer

1. Floor wax is a liquid mixture of chemicals that create a thin, hard, protective surface when
applied and allowed to dry on a surface. Floor wax offers glossiness, additional hardness, slip
and scuff resistance, while protecting the floor from water or other liquid damage.
2. Paraffin wax is the typical component of floor wax that the four material has. It is a soft, white
solid at room temperature that melts and burns easily. Its chemical composition is a mix of
hydrocarbon molecules known as alkanes. Paraffin wax melts at temperatures between 125 and
175 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on its exact mixture.
