Stearic acid since it is nonpolar and H2O is polar.
Stearic Acid
Saponification is not applied to pure stearic acid; stearic acid esters are used.
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.
Stearic or steric hindrance occurs when large groups inside of molecules stop or interfere with chemical reactions.
The chemical formula of the stearic acid is CH3(CH2)16-COOH. The carboxylic group (COOH) has an acidic character.
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
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.
Aluminum stearate has a molecular weight of 876.0 Aluminum stearate is used in cosmetics, often as an emulsifier. The aluminum stearate comes from stearic acid.
If your room temperature is 70 C then stearic acid would be in a liquid form as its melting point is 69.6 C. For the rest of us humans with a room temperature of around 24 C stearic acid is solid
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.
Saponification is not applied to pure stearic acid; stearic acid esters are used.
It is covalent, the reason for this is because it does not conduct electricity.
