🔍 Key Concepts

• Flash point vs. fire point vs. ignition temperature in basic fire science • How volatility relates to how easily a liquid gives off flammable vapors • Difference between flammable limits (LEL/UEL) and the temperature at which a fuel actually starts to burn on its own

💭 Think About

• Which term describes the lowest temperature at which a liquid gives off enough vapor to momentarily ignite when exposed to a flame? • Which term refers to the condition where vapors will keep burning on their own once ignited and the heat source is removed? • Which choice refers to a concentration range of vapors in air rather than a temperature?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know that flash point is about starting vapor ignition, not necessarily continuous burning • Confirm which option describes a temperature at which the fuel’s vapors self‑ignite and sustain combustion • Eliminate any choice that describes a vapor concentration limit (not a temperature) or a term that is not standard in fire science
