Gunpowder ignites at around 801 degrees Fahrenheit (427 degrees Celsius).
The lowest temperature ever recorded in Britain was -27.2°C (-17°F) in Braemar, Scotland on February 11, 1895.
The lowest temperature ever recorded in Toronto was -31.3°C (-24.3°F) on January 4, 1981.
The lowest temperature ever recorded in Turkey is -46.4°C (-51.5°F). This extreme temperature was observed in the town of Mus on February 9, 1954.
The difference is 598 degrees Celsius
The flashpoint of gasoline can be measured using a closed-cup tester designed to determine the lowest temperature at which the gasoline vapor can ignite when exposed to an ignition source under specific conditions. This is an important safety parameter to assess the flammability risk of a substance.
The flash point is the lowest temperature at which vapors of a liquid can ignite.
It is the lowest temperature at which the vapour of a flammable liquid will ignite in air. The flashpoint is generally lower than the temperature needed for the liquid itself to ignite
Gasoline ignites because gasoline is flammable. (simple answer) A more detailed answer would be. Gasoline produces flammable vapors at a much lower temperature than almost any other 'common' chemical. It is the vapors that ignite rather than the chemical itself. Also Gasoline vapors are heavier than air. Any 'Flammable' chemical will ignite in the presence of an open flame or spark if there are sufficient fumes.
AUTO IGNITION TEMPERATURE: Lowest temperature at which mixture will ignite in the absence of spark or flame. for more inf cont(fahim.ch01@gmail.com)
Chemicals that can cause gasoline to ignite include heat, sparks, and flames. Gasoline is highly flammable and can ignite easily when exposed to these ignition sources. It is important to handle gasoline with caution and avoid situations where it may come into contact with these chemicals.
Gasoline does not ignite. The fumes from gasoline are what ignites. They will ignite at any temperature. According to the best sources I could find there are three answers (all apply to gas fumes as stated above). 1.) Flash point -43 F 2.) Ignition Temp -40 both of the above require an external source of ignition. Then ..... 3.) Auto Ignition Temp 246--280 °C (475--536 °F) Is the answer for what temp it will ignite on it's own without external 'spark'. I leaned heavily on Wikipedia for source material
Gasoline is a flammable liquid that gives off vapors at temperatures below room temperature, which can ignite easily when exposed to a flame or spark.
Because a spark could potentially ignite gasoline, and cause a catastrophic explosion.
No, gasoline requires oxygen to ignite and burn. Without oxygen, gasoline cannot undergo the combustion reaction necessary for an explosion.
It is enough for a spark to ignite any fuel.
diesel need not have a spark plug to ignite, just high compression will heat it up since its density is higher than of normal petrol or gasoline. gasoline having a lower density needs can't heat up well after compression and thus needs a spark to ignite it. You may need to plug in the block heater depending on the outside temperature Some older trucks need to be plugged in if the temperature is near freezing.
