Question:

(a) Derive the energy balance for a closed, constant-volume, adiabatic-system vapor phase chemical reaction, neglecting the energy of mixing for reactants and products, and assuming the ideal gas law.

(b) Suppose that a 200 L propane tank is at 0.09 MPa pressure and, due to an air leak, contains the propane with a stoichiometric quantity of air. If a source of spark is present, the system will burn so rapidly that it may be considered adiabatic, and there will not be time for any flow out of the vessel. If ignited at 20°C, what pressure and temperature are generated assuming this is a constant volume system and the reaction goes to completion?
