if the stearic acid were impure, would the freezing point of stearic acid be higher or lower than the value you obtain in this experiment.
No, impurities do not raise the melting point of Stearic Acid, they decrease it. All impurities decrease the melting point of solids.
Glacial (pure) stearic acid has a melting/freezing point of 69.6 degrees Celsius or 157 degrees Fahrenheit at 100 kPa. An experiment today showed that stearic acid becomes a solid at 51 degrees Celsius. It stops becoming a fully liquid at 54 degrees Celsius; it becomes a mix of sold and liquid.
The carbon chain of stearic acid is longer; more long chain, higher melting point.The melting point of stearic acid is 69,3 0C and the melting point of oleic acid is 14 0C.
yes

Because water evapurates
yes
Stearic Acid
The melting point (or freezing point) of oxygen is -218,79 0C.
When determining the melting point or the freezing point of something....that is when they are used....
The freezing point is the same as the melting point, temperature-wise.
69 degree celcius
yes the melting point of solid and freezing point of liquid of a substance is differ but in the case of water the melting and freezing point is same.
