With oxygen/propane torches, the air/fuel ratio can be much lower. The stoichiometric equation for complete combustion of propane with 100% oxygen is: [7] C 3 H 8 + 5 (O 2) → 4 (H 2 O) + 3 (CO 2) In this case, the only products are CO 2 and water. The balanced equation shows to use 1 mole of propane for every 5 moles of oxygen.
