69 degree celcius
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.
At standard pressure the melting (freezing) point of pure water is 0 0C.
The closer the melting point of the sample of the caffeine you have extracted, to the known melting point of pure caffeine, the more pure your sample is.
Each pure substance has its own unique melting and boiling point.
Carbon has the highest melting point of any element on the Periodic Table. It's melting point is 3823K
Saponification is not applied to pure stearic acid; stearic acid esters are used.
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 melting point would also be 21 degrees because the freezing point and melting point of a pure substance is exactly the same.
melting point
The melting point of salt water is even lower than pure water.
Pure substances have very specific melting (and boiling) points. Assuming the substance is pure you could measure the melting point and compare it to a known database of melting points.
You could test its melting point, since pure glucose has a known melting point of 146oC.
At standard pressure the melting (freezing) point of pure water is 0 0C.
It is easily checked by melting point of Naphthalene, if it is pure its melting point is 79 Celsius otherwise less than 79 Celsius.
The closer the melting point of the sample of the caffeine you have extracted, to the known melting point of pure caffeine, the more pure your sample is.
It is a compound. All pure elements have a certain exact melting point.
The melting point of ultrapure water is 0 0C at 1 atm.
