Stearic Acid

[Sith Lord 13]

What is the length and width of stearic acid? I was told to find it online, but I can't. Need it to complete a lab report.

What do you mean by length and width? Is that college stuff(I can't help you there :whoops:)?

I can't find it in my organic book?! Anyway. You know the kinds of different bonds, right? Calculate the atomic radius between the two bonded atoms, you can easily find the length, I think.

Do you have a CRC handbook? It is the ultimate chemistry data resource.

If you mean the unit cell dimensions and area, you can find those here (http://www.springerlink.com/content/j2m7h747168615g3/fulltext.pdf).

Hope that helps.
