What is the melting point of Stearin?
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.
How do you do a lab to find out if impurities such as glucose raises the temperature of stearic acid?
Start by measuring the initial temperature of pure stearic acid. Add a known amount of impurity (glucose) to the stearic acid and measure the temperature change. Compare the temperature change to a control sample of pure stearic acid to see if the impurity caused a temperature increase, suggesting it may be raising the temperature of the stearic acid due to its physical or chemical properties.
How can you tell if a substance is pure or not?
You can tell if a substance is pure by using techniques like melting point determination or chromatography to compare against known pure samples. If the substance has a consistent melting point or chromatogram, it is likely pure. Impurities can cause a substance to have a lower melting point or show additional peaks in chromatography.
How a thermometer can be used to check the purity of a metal?
A thermometer can be used to check the purity of a metal by measuring its melting or freezing point. Impurities in a metal can alter its melting point, so a pure metal should have a specific and consistent melting point. By comparing the measured melting point with the known melting point of the pure metal, the level of purity can be evaluated.
What would happen to the melting point of pure benzoic acid if 2-naphthol was mixed in?
The literature value of the melting point of pure benzoic acid is about 122.4 degrees Celsius, while the literature value of the melting point of pure 2-naphthol is close at 122 degrees Celsius. Nevertheless, the melting point of the benzoic acid should be depressed (go down) compared to the literature value if you were to add 2-naphthol because the sample you were testing would then be impure, even if that impurity does have a similar melting point. Also, the range over which the sample melts should get larger as well. Instead of melting within a degree or less, it may melt over the course of several degrees. So I just tested this in lab, and I can't promise that this is 50/50, but my melting point for 2-naphthol with Benzoic acid is 104.1-106.0 degrees Celsius This is a very basic answer, and the trend is true. However, with my organic chemistry professor, this answer would be followed by a blank look and "Why?" The best way to think of this is to look at the chemical structure of Benzoic Acid and 2-naphthol separate. Go ahead and Google it on a new tab. Now look at the molecule of the two together. And think: "What does the composite molecule have that the two alone don't?" Give up? Electronegativity. The more electronegative a molecule is the greater its reactivity. As in the compound molecule will melt easier than the two 'pure' substances.
How do you saponification stearic acid?
Saponification is not applied to pure stearic acid; stearic acid esters are used.

Freezing point of pure substance 21 degrees what is the melting point?
The melting point of a substance is the same as its freezing point in a closed system. Therefore, if the freezing point of a pure substance is 21 degrees Celsius, its melting point would also be 21 degrees Celsius.
What is the point where a pure solid change to a liquid?
melting point
What simple test can you do to determine if a given solid is pure or not?
One simple test to determine if a solid is pure is to measure its melting point. A pure substance will have a sharp melting point, while impurities will cause the melting point to be lower and more spread out. Comparing the measured melting point to the known melting point of the pure substance can help determine its purity.
A student recrystallized some impure benzoic acid and isolated it by filtration. He scraped the purified benzoic acid off the filter paper after it had dried and took the melting point as a test for p?
The student's approach to isolating and testing the purity of benzoic acid is appropriate, as recrystallization is a common method for purifying solids. After scraping the dried benzoic acid from the filter paper, taking the melting point is a valid method for assessing purity; pure substances have a sharp melting point range, while impurities typically depress and broaden this range. If the observed melting point of the recrystallized benzoic acid closely matches the literature value for pure benzoic acid, it suggests successful purification. Conversely, a significant deviation would indicate the presence of impurities.
How could the identify of a compound be established by melting point?
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.
Which test or observation can be used to show that a sample of glucose is pure?
You could test its melting point, since pure glucose has a known melting point of 146oC.

What is the difference between the melting points of the pure aspirin and the aspirin that prepared in lab?
The melting point of pure aspirin is typically around 135-136°C, while the melting point of aspirin prepared in a lab could vary depending on the purity of the synthesis process. Impurities in lab-prepared aspirin can lower the melting point or broaden the melting range compared to pure aspirin.
