โ† Science

Which risk increases when fuel-air mixtures approach stoichiometric ratio during combustion?

A)Increased rate of quenching reactions
B)Reduced detonation propagation velocity
C)Suppressed formation of combustion radicals
D)Elevated rate of chain-branching reactionsโœ“

๐Ÿ’ก Explanation

The rate of chain-branching reactions will be elevated. This is because at stoichiometry flame temperature maximizes โ€“ which increases the rate of the overall combustion. This leads to faster exponential growth in radical concentration, therefore increasing the explosion risk, rather than other quenching or propagation effects.
