Filter the solution using a Whatman No. 41 or equivalent filter paper and wash any residue with ether until the filtrate shows no evi- dence of dissolved stearic acid when a por- tion of it is evaporated to dryn
10、ess, Transfer the residue to a smooth glass slide. Press and rub the material on the glass with a smooth steel spatula. Grit is present if there is a persistent scratching noise, when the ma- terial is pressed and rubbed or when abrasion can be felt through the spatula during that action. 4.3.2 Tite
