Stearic acid is the saturated fatty acid with an 18-carbon chain and has the iupac name octadecanoic acid. It is a waxy solid, and its chemical formula is ch3(ch2)16co2h. Its name comes from the greek word "star", which means tallow. Formula: c18h36o2, density: 847.00 kgm, molar mass: 284.4772 gmol, boiling point: 376.1 c uses in general, applications of stearic acid exploit its bifunctional character, with a polar head group that can be attached to metal cations and a nonpolar chain that confers solubility in organic solvents. The combination leads to uses as a surfactant and softening agent. Stearic acid undergoes the typical reactions of saturated carboxylic acids, a notable one being reduction to stearyl alcohol, and esterification with a range of alcohols. Soaps, cosmetics, detergents stearic acid is mainly used in the production of detergents, soaps, and cosmetics such as shampoos and shaving cream products.
