answer! write a balanced chemical equation for the combustion of cetane, c16h34, a hydrocarbon present in diesel fuel:
(a) in the presence of excess oxygen. do not include physical states in your answer.
(b) in a somewhat limited supply of oxygen. do not include physical states in your answer.
(c) in a severely limited supply of oxygen. do not include physical states in your answer.

wher is the rest of the question

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
