In combustion, what does overstoichiometric mean?
AFuel is present in excess
BOxygen is in excess, unreacted
CExactly enough oxygen present
DFuel burns incompletely
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Oxygen is in excess, unreacted
With more oxygen than the stoichiometric point needs, the surplus oxygen stays unreacted.
