Question
For the following gaseous reaction at 25 °C: H2(g) + 10 O2(g) = H₂O(g) + excess O2(g) (unbalanced).
Calculate the maximum temperature (in °C) in an adiabatic explosion of the mixture with reactants
initially at 25 °C inside a sealed bomb, given that the heat of formation of H₂O(g) = -58 kcal mol-¹,
Cp.H2 = Cp,02 = 6.5 cal K-1 mol-¹, and Cp.H20 = 7.5 cal K-¹ mol-¹.
