Does stearic acid have high melting point?
yes
How do you prove that glucose do not raise the melting point of stearic acid?
No, impurities do not raise the melting point of Stearic Acid, they decrease it. All impurities decrease the melting point of solids.
Why is the melting point of Palmitoleic acid lower than that of oleic acid?
because palmitoleic acid has less number of carbons than oleic acid
What is the melting point of pure stearic acid?
69 degree celcius
Experiment on the melting and freezing point of stearic acid?
90 degrees Celsius

What acids are contained in corn?
salicyclic acid lauric acid palmitic acid oleic acid stearic acid
What is a soft soap?
Potassium salts of fatty acids such as oleic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid are called soft soaps.
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.
Which is Enzyme responsible for conversion of stearic acid to oleic acid?
The enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of stearate to oleate is stearoyl-CoA desaturase.
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
What are some organic acids?
Acetic acid, Formic acid, valeric acid, caproic acid, Palmetic acid, Stearic acid, Oleic acid, Citric acid, Ascorbic acid e.t.c.
