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 and the freezing point are synonyms.

Stearic acid (n-octadecanoic acid) chemical formula: C18H36O2.

There are many grades of stearic acid so the melting point differs according to different grades but the range is about 69 °C - 70 °C (156 °F - 158 °F)

An impure substance cannot have a definite melting point, as it depends on the degree of impurity. The higher the concentration of the impurities, the more anomalous the melting point. Therefore only a range of melting can be found, according to the amount of impurity.
