Which means there is a slight excess of both potassium


28 KClO3 (s) + 6 Sb2S3 (s) + 3P4 (s) -> 28 KCl (s) + 3 P4O10(s) + 6 Sb2O3 (s) + 18 SO2 (g)

The actual reaction mixture is 63% KClO3, 31%Sb2S3, and 6% P4, which means there is a slight excess of both potassium chlorate and phosphorus. On the basis of the stoichiometry presented, the reaction mixture should be 58.7% KClO3, 34.9%Sb2S3, and 6.4% P4. Why is an excess of both phosphorus and potassium chlorate present in the reaction mixture?
