All of these oils are mixtures, so they don't have a single chemical formula. You would do better to Google search for "chemical components of ...." in order to get specific formulas for each material. The other problem you will have is that you will have to specify which vegetable oil you want to consider - there are dozens of them.

Kerosene is C14H30. Mineral oil and vegetable oil are general classes of compounds made of many different molecules. They have no specific chemical formula.

Precautions The magnesium-bodied Honda RA302 of Jo Schlesser crashes and burns during the 1968 French Grand Prix. Schlesser was killed The magnesium-bodied Honda RA302 of Jo Schlesser crashes and burns during the 1968 French Grand Prix. Schlesser was killed Magnesium metal and alloys are highly flammable in their pure form when molten, as a powder, or in ribbon form. Burning or molten magnesium metal reacts violently with water. Magnesium powder is an explosive hazard. One should wear safety glasses while working with magnesium, and if burning it, these should include a heavy U.V. filter, similar to welding eye protection. The bright white light (including ultraviolet) produced by burning magnesium can permanently damage the retinas of the eyes, similar to welding arc burns.[6] Water should not be used to extinguish magnesium fires, because it can produce hydrogen which will feed the fire, according to the reaction:[7] Mg (s) + 2 H2O (g) → Mg(OH)2 (s) + H2 (g) or in words: Magnesium (solid) + steam → Magnesium hydroxide (solid) + Hydrogen (gas) Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers should not be used either, because magnesium can burn in carbon dioxide (forming magnesium oxide, MgO, and carbon).[8] A Class D dry chemical fire extinguisher should be used if available, or else the fire should be covered with sand or magnesium foundry flux. An easy way to put out small metal fires is to place a polyethylene bag filled with dry sand on top of the fire. The heat of the fire will melt the bag and the sand will flow out onto the fire.
