Abstract
The present theory of the slow thermal reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, while satisfactorily describing the existence of the various explosion limits, fails to describe the following features: the sudden transition from the slowest reaction to the explosion (``second explosion limit''), and some effects of the vessel size and of a KCl film on the rate and the second explosion limit. Conclusions regarding the theory are discussed.Keywords
