What is the flash point of propane gas?
- A.
−100 °C
- B.
−102 °C
- C.
−104 °C
- D.
−106 °C
Correct Answer
C. −104 °CExplanation
The flash point of a substance refers to the lowest temperature at which it can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in air. In the case of propane gas, the flash point is −104 °C, which means that at temperatures below this point, propane will not produce enough vapor to ignite. This information is important for handling and storage of propane, as it indicates the temperature at which precautions should be taken to prevent the formation of flammable mixtures.Rate this question:

Flashpoint is the lowest temperature at which a liquid can form an ignitable mixture in air near the surface of the liquid.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The flashpoint is indeed the lowest temperature at which a liquid can form an ignitable mixture in air near the surface of the liquid. This means that if the temperature of a liquid is below its flashpoint, it will not produce enough vapor to ignite in the presence of an ignition source. However, if the temperature is at or above the flashpoint, the liquid can release enough vapor to create a flammable mixture with the air, which can then be ignited. Therefore, the statement is true.Rate this question:

Which of the chemicals that are being used in our plant is having the lowest flash point?
- A.
Propane
- B.
Paint
- C.
Petrol
- D.
HSD
Correct Answer
A. PropaneExplanation
Propane has the lowest flash point among the chemicals being used in the plant. Flash point refers to the lowest temperature at which a substance can emit vapors that can ignite when exposed to an ignition source. Since propane is a highly flammable gas, it has a very low flash point compared to the other chemicals listed, making it the correct answer.Rate this question:
