What is meant by the term spontaneous combustion?
A fire started without any help.
What is the difference between spontaneous combustion and rapid combustion?
Spontaneous combustion is a self-ignition process where a substance ignites without an external heat source due to internal chemical reactions, such as with oily rags. Rapid combustion, on the other hand, refers to the fast and intense burning of a substance with the presence of an external heat source, like in a fire or explosion.
Can linseed oil cause spontaneous combustion?
Yes, linseed oil can cause spontaneous combustion due to its ability to generate heat as it dries. This heat can build up and ignite nearby materials, leading to a fire.
What would most likely be spontaneous?

What causes things to burn?
This could be a few different things ... 1. Fire 2. Heat 3. Spontaneous combustion
When two chemicals touch and make fire what is it called?
If nothing is added to the mixture and no flame is introduced externally it is called spontaneous combustion.
What is spontaneously combusting?
Spontaneous combustion is the phenomenon where an object catches fire without an external heat source. This can occur due to a chemical reaction within the object leading to ignition. Materials like oily rags, coal dust, and certain chemicals are more prone to spontaneous combustion.
Will argon catch fire?
No! It's a noble gas ... it does not react chemically with anything.
What is an example of combustion?
Anything that can easily catch on fire is an example of combustibility. Some examples are setting fire to paper or creating a bonfire.
