Stearic acid has the chemical formula of C18H36O2. To find the number of protons in this molecule, we first need to know the number of protons for each of its constituent atoms. This information can be found in any chemistry book. The results are that carbon has 6 protons per atom, hydrogen has 1, and oxygen has 8. So, after doing some simple arithmetic, we find that stearic acid has 6*18 + 1*36 + 8*2 = 160 protons per molecule.

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.
Why does stearic acid has a high melting point than oleic?
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.
Does stearic acid have high melting point?
yes
Effect of stearic acid in flash point?
Will Raise the flash point !
How do you prove that glucose do not raise the melting point of stearic acid?
No, impurities do not raise the melting point of Stearic Acid, they decrease it. All impurities decrease the melting point of solids.

What acids have a melting point of 69 degree?
Stearic Acid
How do you saponification stearic acid?
Saponification is not applied to pure stearic acid; stearic acid esters are used.
How do you prove that glucose do not raise the melting point of stearic acid?
No, impurities do not raise the melting point of Stearic Acid, they decrease it. All impurities decrease the melting point of solids.
What is the melting point of pure stearic acid?
69 degree celcius
How is the freezing point of stearic acid compared to the freezing point of water?
Because water evapurates
Experiment on the melting and freezing point of stearic acid?
90 degrees Celsius
What is boiling point of nitric acid?
The boiling point of Nitric Acid is 121 degree celsius.
Is stearic acid a good conductor?
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.
