Testing Self Made Methyl Stearate

The Testing of  Methyl Stearate includes checking the product under infrared along with recording its melting point.

The infrared results of the laboratory made Methyl Stearate must be compared with the infrared results   of stearic acid and commercial grade methyl stearate

The process was started by making three different test solution samples:
  1. Solution of stearic acid and dichloromethane  
  2. Solution of commercial grade methyl stearate
  3. Solution of self made methyl stearate
