70% to pass

Which of the following describes the flash point temperature of a liquid?

A that a liquid must reach before it will flow readily
B at which a liquid will explode
C at which a liquid will give off inflammable vapors
D at which a liquid will burn steadily
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) the flash point temperature of a liquid is the temperature at which a liquid will give off inflammable vapors. The flash point of a liquid is the lowest temperature at which the liquid gives off vapor in sufficient concentration to form an ignitable mixture with air near the surface of the liquid. This is an important safety consideration, as liquids with low flash points can easily ignite and pose a fire hazard. The other options are incorrect - option A describes the pour point, option B describes the explosive limits, and option D describes the burning temperature, which are different properties from the flash point.
