Note that the molecular weights of hydrogen and oxygen are very different. You would need mass ratio of approximately eight to one in favor of oxygen to achieve a number-of-atoms ratio of two to one in favor of hydrogen.yrjosmiel73 said:Example, I have a mixture of 5 grams of oxygen and 10 grams of hydrogen. I ignite them. How much force will the explosion do?
russ_watters said:maximum over pressure is used, but more common is energy.
The formula for calculating the force of an explosion from a chemical reaction is F = M x A, where F is the force, M is the mass of the explosive material, and A is the acceleration caused by the explosion.
The mass of the explosive material can be determined by weighing the material before the reaction takes place. This mass can then be used in the formula to calculate the force of the explosion.
The force of an explosion can be affected by several factors including the type and amount of explosive material, the confinement of the explosion, and the surrounding environment. Temperature, humidity, and altitude can also impact the force of an explosion.
The force of an explosion can be predicted with a certain level of accuracy using mathematical models and simulations. However, there are many variables that can affect the force of an explosion, so there may be some level of uncertainty in the prediction.
Calculating the force of an explosion is important for understanding the potential damage and impact of the explosion. It can also inform safety protocols and help in designing structures and materials that can withstand the force of an explosion.
