🔍 Key Concepts

• Definition of flash point in cargo handling and fire safety • Difference between flash point, boiling point, and auto-ignition temperature • Role of an external ignition source when a liquid is heated above its flash point

💭 Think About

• Think about what a liquid is able to do at temperatures just above its flash point: what changes in the vapor above the liquid? • Which option correctly connects the presence of vapors and an outside ignition source? • Which answers describe things that are not directly caused simply by going 10°F above the flash point?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that flash point is the temperature at which a liquid gives off enough vapor to form an ignitable mixture near the surface. • Check which option, if any, mentions the need for an ignition source rather than the liquid automatically burning on its own. • Eliminate choices that confuse flash point with boiling point or auto-ignition temperature.
