Summary The presence of oleic acid in mixtures containing plamitic and stearic acids has the effect, within certain limits, of lowering the melting point without the irregularities observed in those cases where the former is absent. Experiments have been made which show that this behavior of oleic acid has a counter‐part, insofar as solubilities are concerned, in its influence on the solubility of the same ternary system in methanol. Thus the quantities of the solid fatty acids dissolved are, within commercially important ranges, proportional to the amount of oleic acid present in the mixture.
