Impact of Temperature on Burning Hydrocarbon in a Closed System

AI Thread Summary
In a closed system where hydrocarbons are burned, reaching a uniform temperature of X degrees Celsius raises concerns about the stability of the combustion process. As the temperature increases, the flash point of the by-products becomes critical; if the temperature exceeds this flash point, the by-products may ignite, potentially leading to further combustion reactions. This could alter the dynamics of the burning hydrocarbon, potentially increasing the rate of combustion or causing uncontrolled reactions within the system. Understanding the thermal properties and flash points of the by-products is essential for predicting the behavior of the system at elevated temperatures.

In a closed system a hydrocarbon is burnt. The products which are produced have a temperature of X degree celcius. What will happen once the temperature of whole of the system becomes X degree celcius? How will it affect the burning of hydrocarbon?
Thanks a lot for any help.

I think this is a very strange question. What's the flash point of the by-products? If the system gets too hot, those might start burning too.
 

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
