In the event of an explosive combustion of vapor at atmospheric pressure, the vapor cloud can be modeled as adiabatic

Question:

In the event of an explosive combustion of vapor at atmospheric pressure, the vapor cloud can be modeled as adiabatic because the combustion occurs so rapidly. The vapor cloud expands rapidly due to the increase in moles due to combustion, but also due to the adiabatic temperature rise. Estimate the volume increase of a 22°C, 1 m3 mixture of propane and a stoichiometric quantity of air that burns explosively to completion. Estimate the temperature rise.
