C12H24O2 +17 O2-------->12CO2 + 12H2O

<h3>Combustion:-</h3>

combustion is a chemical reaction that often involves the presence of oxygen and produces heat and light in the form of flames.

<h3>Lauric acid:-</h3>

Lauric acid has a 12-carbon backbone and is a saturated medium-chain fatty acid. In addition to being a key component of coconut oil and palm kernel oil, lauric acid occurs naturally in a variety of plant and animal fats and oils.

White solid lauric acid has a little bay oil odour to it.

Lauric acid is a cheap, non-toxic, and easy-to-handle substance that is frequently employed in lab studies on melting-point depression. Because lauric acid is a solid at ambient temperature but a liquid at boiling temperatures, it can be used to test different solutes to determine their molecular weights.

maxonik [38]
Density (d) which is the quotient when mass (m) is divided by volume (v) is usually reported in terms of g/mL. 
                                  d = m /v
Substituting the known values,
                                d = (1.62 kg) x (1000 g/ 1 kg) / (205 mL)
The answer would be approximately equal to 7.9 g/mL.
