Yes, it is; along with Lauric, Myristic, Palmitic, [Stearic], Arachidic and Lignoceric: all are Saturated 'fatty acids'.
The symbol for [the common name] Stearic acid is 18:0, it's structure is CH3(CH2-18)COOH, it's systematic name is n-Octadecanoic acid and it's melting point is 69.6 degrees C.

molar mass of stearic acid = 284.48 g/mol−1
Can stearic acid be solid?
Yes. Stearic acid is normally a solid, and it melts at around 70ºC
What type of bond does stearic acid have metallic covalent or ionic?
Stearic acid molecules have covalent bonds in them.
How do you saponification stearic acid?
Saponification is not applied to pure stearic acid; stearic acid esters are used.

Does stearic acid contain pork?
stearic acid can come from pork. It is a fatty acid that is used in cosmetics.

Is stearic acid and stearoyl CoA the same thing?
Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid 18 carbons long. Stearoyl CoA is a molecule of stearic acid bound to the molecule coenzyme A (CoA), which occurs during the metabolism of stearic acid to release energy, so they are not the same thing.
What type of bond does stearic acid have metallic covalent or ionic?
Stearic acid molecules have covalent bonds in them.
Would the freezing point of stearic acid be higher or lower if impured?
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.
What acid is in soap?
Soap is a chemical salt made from sodium hydroxide(lye) and palmitic Acid or Stearic Acid. The two acids mentioned are both long chain carboxylic acids.
Can stearic acid cause prostate roblems in men?
Stearic acid does not cause prostate problems in men. In some studies, stearic acid has been shown to decrease metastatic prostate cancer by 70%.
