Best Answer

Biodiesel does not have a regular molecular formula because it is a mixture of different molecules. It is prepared from the esterification of fatty acids with methanol, and a typical fatty acid is stearic acid, CH3(CH2)16COOH. The ester would therefore be CH3(CH2)16COOCH3, or C19H39O2.
