Which consequence results when paraffin wax cools non-uniformly?

A)Undesirable Polymorphism crystallization occurs
B)Increased oxidation causes chain scission
C)Kirkendall effect induces vacancy diffusion
D)Volume change induces internal stress

💡 Explanation

Internal stress appears because differential cooling rates cause the OUTER layers to solidify first and contract and thus squeeze INNER layers. The solid-solid phase transitions are affected, therefore inducing stress rather than uniform crystallization or oxidation.
