🔍 Key Concepts

• Flash point vs. fire point – understand the difference between the temperature where vapor is produced and the temperature where burning is sustained • Role of vapors in ignition – fires start from vapors above the liquid, not the liquid itself • Difference between ignition, explosion, and steady burning

💭 Think About

• Which option talks about the first moment a liquid can give off enough vapor to ignite briefly if an external flame or spark is applied? • Is flash point about continuous burning, or just the ability to briefly ignite and then possibly go out? • Do any of the options confuse flash point with the point where the fuel will burn on its own without needing an external ignition source?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure the definition involves vapors, not just the bulk liquid • Confirm whether flash point requires sustained burning or only momentary ignition when exposed to a source • Eliminate any choices that describe explosion or changes in viscosity/flow, since that is not what flash point measures
