The theoretical flame temperature is never reached in practice because of
Answer: B
Correct answer: dissociation and heat loss to the surroundings
The theoretical flame temperature assumes complete combustion in an adiabatic vessel. Two things spoil it: at high temperature carbon dioxide and water dissociate back to carbon monoxide, hydrogen and oxygen, absorbing heat, and no real furnace is adiabatic - radiation and conduction remove heat as fast as it is released. Excess air lowers the temperature too, but the theoretical figure is defined without it.
