C16H32O2(aq) --> 16CO2(g) + 16H2O(l) ... said its wrong though? 
<span>This is because you haven't added any oxygen needed for the combustion, so your equation does'nt balance. Also a solution in water [aq] doesn't burn! </span>
<span>Try </span><span>C16H32O2(s) + 23O2(g) --> 16CO2(g) + 16H2O(l)

Explanation:

Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which substance burns under the presence of oxygen or in other words reaction of hydrocarbon with oxygen to produce water and carbondioxide.

Palmitic acid when undergoes combustion it gives carbondioxide and water.

The balanced chemical  equation is given as:

C_{16}H_{32}O_2(s)+23O_2(g)\rightarrow 16CO_2(g)+16H_2O(l)

According to stoichiometry, when 1 mol of palmitic acid reacts with 23 moles of oxygen to give 16 moles of carbondioxide and 12 moles of water.
