Question 980 Deck General

The correct answer is A) fire point. The fire point is the lowest temperature at which the vapors of a flammable liquid will ignite and cause self-sustained combustion in the presence of a spark or flame. This is an important safety parameter for determining the safe handling and storage of flammable liquids. The other options are incorrect: B) flash point is the lowest temperature at which a liquid gives off vapor in sufficient concentration to form an ignitable mixture with air, C) vaporization temperature is the temperature at which a liquid changes to a vapor, and D) autoignition temperature is the minimum temperature required to initiate or cause self-sustained combustion of a material in the absence of a spark or flame.
