Hydrocarbon Oxidation
If sufficient oxygen is available, a hydrocarbon fuel can be completely
oxidized, the carbon is converted to carbon dioxide (CO2) and the hydrogen
is converted to water (H2O).
The overall chemical equation for the complete combustion of one mole of
propane (C3H8) with oxygen is:

Combustion Stoichiometry
Air contains molecular nitrogen N2, when the products are low temperature
the nitrogen is not significantly affected by the reaction, it is considered inert.
The complete reaction of a general hydrocarbon CxHy with air is:
x=b b=x
y = 2c c = y/2
2a = 2b + c a = b + c/2 a = x + y/4
2(3.76)a = 2d d = 3.76a/2 d = 3.76(x + y/4)

The above equation defines the stoichiometric proportions of fuel and air.
Combustion Stoichiometry
The stoichiometric quantity of oxidizer is just that
amount needed to completely burn a quality of fuel.

Substituting the respective molecular weights and dividing top and bottom
by x one gets the following expression that only depends on the ratio of the
number of hydrogen atoms to hydrogen atoms (y/x) in the fuel.
