as a heterogeneous mixture
Explanation:
because I just know that it is
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)
