To make copper stearate from copper sulfate, you'll need stearic acid and a source of copper ions, which can be derived from copper sulfate. The reaction involves the precipitation of copper stearate from the reaction of stearic acid with copper sulfate.
Here’s a step-by-step process to prepare 10 grams of copper stearate:
### Materials Needed:
1. **Copper Sulfate (CuSO₄)**
2. **Stearic Acid (C₁₈H₃₆O₂)**
3. **Distilled Water**
4.
