What Is Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome? Obesity hypoventilation (HI-po-ven-tih-LA-shun) syndrome (OHS) is a breathing disorder that affects some obese people. In OHS, poor breathing results in too much carbon dioxide (hypoventilation) and too little oxygen in the blood (hypoxemia). OHS sometimes is called Pickwickian syndrome.
Click on photo for a larger picture. In the photo above, I am holding two small vials of liquid metal. The vial on the right contains gallium, an element that melts at 29.76Â° Celsius (85.57Â° Fahrenheit). The vial on the left is an alloy that contains gallium, indium, and tin, and melts at -20Â° Celsius (-4Â° Fahrenheit). The gallium is liquid because I had the bottle in my shirt pocket, next to my warm body.
Confidence votes 115. Pure paraffin melts at about 125 F, but candle wax is not pure paraffin so it will be a little different. If you are trying to pour the wax into a mold, metal molds require the wax to be between 180 and 200 degrees F. For paper cartons, glass, rubber, etc., the pouring temperature is 130 to 150 degrees F.
