, Fire/Combustion - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A chemical reaction that includes the self-sustaining
rapid oxidation of a fuel accompanied by the release of heat and light. Commonly referred to as fire
heat - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The energy transferred between objects that are at different
temperatures
Ignition Temperature - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅the minimum temperature at which a fuel
spontaneously ignites
Flammable limits and range - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅defined as the range in which gases or vapors
form flammable mixtures with air or oxygen. There is a minimum concentration of vapor in air or oxygen
below which propagation of flame does not occur on contact with a source of ignition.
Vapor Density - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Weight of a given volume of pure vapor or gas compared to
the weight of an equal volume of dry air at the same temperature and pressure. A vapor density less
than 1 indicates a vapor lighter than air; a vapor density greater than 1 indicates a vapor heavier than
air.
