What is the result if stearic acid added in chloroform?
Stearic acid is soluble in chloroform, so it would dissolve if added to chloroform.
Is stearic acid a liquid or a solid at a room temperature of 70 degrees Celsius?
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
Why are sodium stearate solutions alkaline?
Because 'sdoium stearate' is the conjugate base of the weak carboxylic acid 'stearic acid'. Since a solution of stearic acid would be slightly acidic, a solution of sodium stearate will be basic or alkaline.
Which substance-oxygen or nitrogen- would freeze first if the temperature were gradually lowered?
If the temperature were lowered gradually enough for the substances to be in (approximate) thermal equilibrium, then nitrogen would freeze first. Nitrogen has an observed normal freezing point of 63.05 K, and oxygen has a freezing point of 54.85 K. As the temperature is lowered, nitrogen's higher freezing temperature occurs first.
What is reaction equation of zinc oxide and stearic acid?
As posted, the question would logically refer to a reaction in the solid state - there is no reaction. There is also none in water solution as stearic acid is not significantly water-soluable. The reaction between the two would produce zinc stearate and water.
What is the result if stearic acid added in chloroform?
Stearic acid is soluble in chloroform, so it would dissolve if added to chloroform.
What would be the reason to have triethaonolamine and stearic acid as ingredients in hand lotion?
Triethaonolamine is used as an emulsifier; and stearic acid is used as a lubricant.
Which type of liquid freezes the fastest?
Freezes the fastest can be of 2 mean. For liquid to reach the freezing point first, the liquid with higher molecular mass or stronger intermolecular force would have higher freezing point and can be considered freezing faster. But it might took quite a while to freeze at the freezing point. For liquid to become solid with the least energy transfer required. The liquid with the lowest intermolecular force would change the state faster at freezing point. But the freezing point might be extremely low.
Does salt affect the temperature of water -boiling point - freezing point?
i would opt for the Freezing point. salt decreases the freezing point of water. so if water would normally freeze at 0C, saltwater would freeze at -3C.
Why would residual oils or soap interfered with an stearic acid experiment?
yes
Which would melt faster ginger ale or water?
The freezing point of pure water is higher, 0 oC.
What is the strongest attractive force in stearic acid?
I would think the acid is the strongest force
Is stearic acid a liquid or a solid at a room temperature of 70 degrees Celsius?
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
Would extra coolant in the radiator help to keep the temperature cooler?
No, It would only raise the boiling point higher and drop the freezing point lower.
Would two acids be an example of covalent compounds?
Examples: stearic acid, hydrofluoric acid.
Does antifreeze have a lower or higher freezing point than water?
Much lower or else there would be little point in using as antifreeze
Why are sodium stearate solutions alkaline?
Because 'sdoium stearate' is the conjugate base of the weak carboxylic acid 'stearic acid'. Since a solution of stearic acid would be slightly acidic, a solution of sodium stearate will be basic or alkaline.
