Typically Raney Nickel has a surface area of 100 Square Meters
per Gram.
A few kilograms (a few hundred thousand Meter^2) of Raney Nickel in a
nickel mesh (wirecloth) basket soaked with hot water heated off the engine
with part of the engine intake air flowing up through the Raney Nickel bed
should make an interesting water burner.
H-OH - 56.687
OH + 8.18
HO-OH - 28.78
H +48.58
H2 0.00
O + 55.39
O2 0.00
H + OH + E = H-OH
E = - 56.69 + 8.18 +48.58 = 0.073
2 H-OH + O2 + E = 4 OH
E = 2 (56.687) + 4 ( 8.18)
E = 113.374 + 32.72
E = 146.094
4 OH + E = 2 HO-OH
E = 2 (-28.78) + 4 (8.18)
E = - 24.84
2 HO-OH + E = 2 H-OH + O2
E = 2 (-56.687) + 2 (28.78)
E = - 113.374 + 28.78 + 28.78
E = - 55.814
OTOH, on Nickel and/or Stainless Steel surfaces that have been
exposed to atmospheric O2 the O2 dissociates into bound
O atoms ( 2 * 55.39 = 110.78 kcal/mole free energy)
and adsorbed water dissociates to bound H + OH.
See around pages 305 and up:
Then 2 H-OH + 2 O = 4 OH
2 H-OH + 2 O + E = 4 OH
E = 113.37 - 110.78 +32.72
E = 35.31
