Compute the flame temperature of an oxyacetylene torch using pure acetylene and 50 percent more pure oxygen than is needed to convert all the acetylene to carbon dioxide and water. Both the oxygen and acetylene are initially at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The following reactions may occur:
