where Q is the heat of combustion. In this reaction, atoms are conserved and the equation balances for each of the species. The reaction is a stoichiometric reaction, and the coefficients multiplying ...

This module connects ideas across topics in a first semester introductory chemistry course to explore the impacts of combustion reactions. By motivating students to understand the relationship between ...

If the engine is burning fuel at its specific stoichiometric ratio, all of the oxygen is consumed during combustion. When the sensor detects this stoichiometric condition (no oxygen in the exhaust ...

If there is more air present than required to provide the stoichiometric quantity of oxygen, some oxygen will be unchanged by the combustion process and there will be additional nitrogen in the ...
