What Would Happen If I Poured Enzymes Into A Glass Filled With Atp?

To be more specific, say I had a glass that was 40% ATP and the other glass was 40% of whatever enzyme breaks down ATP. The reaction (by logic) would be extremely rapid so what would be the temperature of the glass after the reaction? Would the enzymes be able to produce a temperature above 150 degrees given the extreme rapidness of the reactions? (The bombardier beetle for instance can produce a fluid that is about 95 C, via a very rapid enzyme reaction that happens in ms. Normally enzymes stop working at 50 C.)
