Can anyone tell me the chemical equation for the reaction of biodiesel as an alternative fuel source?

Question

pretty please? i cant seem to find it myself.

Answer 1

Biodiesel is a mixture of single-chain hydrocarbons ranging from 3 to 21 in length.  Each different molecule will have a different equation, but there is a general equation for all hydrocarbon combustion:

O2 + fuel -> H2O + CO2

Oxygen + fuel produces water and carbon dioxide.

Answer 2

You wont find a chemical equation for it as biodiesel is a mixture of many different organic compounds, which in any event are long chain and complex.
