Procedure
Separately, a 200-ml capacity beaker was charged with 1.44 g of granular acetic acid, 2.08 ml of aqueous ammonia having a concentration of 0.736 mole/l and 50 ml of water, and the mixture was heated at 90° C. under agitation on by a glass rod to completely emulsify stearic acid and form an ammonia soap suspension.
