Can someone give a laymans answer to what the det velocity and/or wave
propagation of a stochiometric mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gas
would be?

Gibbs free energy:
'G'(H2O (v-l)) = -230 kJ/mol

molar mass:
M(H2O) = 2+16 g/mol

specific energy:
'G'/M = -230/18 kJ/g = -12.8 kJ/g

velocity:
^2(2|'G'/M|) = 160 m/s

Thanks for responding,

Would a restriction slow the propagation of the wavefront, ie., if
the mixture was traveling through a tube that was 3/8ths inch at a
flow rate of 1.3 - 1.7 liter/min.? Thanks.

Probably.
Careful here.
Pressure would change the velocity.
