Which defines the "flammable limits" of an atmosphere?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between temperature vs concentration when discussing fire and explosions • Meaning of upper and lower limits in gas safety (what is being limited?) • Role of an ignition source in making a vapor-air mixture burn

💭 Think About

• Are flammable limits describing a range of temperatures, pressures, or vapor concentrations? • In gas safety, what do "upper" and "lower" almost always refer to: heat level, pressure, or percentage of gas in air? • Do flammable limits describe when a mixture will burn by itself, or when it will burn if a spark or flame is present?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether the key variable in the definition should be temperature, pressure, or percentage of vapor in air • Check which choice clearly mentions a range (upper and lower) of vapor concentration instead of temperature or pressure • Make sure the option includes the condition "if an ignition source is present", not self‑ignition
