I have read ( via the internet) the flame front for gasoline is 40 to 50 cm / sec. My questions are ... 1) under what CR ?
2) for what octanes ?
3) Under what loading parameters ? -Ted Hart
It depends on the kind of gasoline (the octane) and the temperature of the fire.
No. Oxygen itself is not flammable; it supports the combustion of flammable materials. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and a flammable material such as wood or gasoline. Things can burn on Earth because air is about 21% oxygen.
because gas does not have a odor so they put it so you can smell it and be more safe,
Is gasoline a element a mixture or a compound
Gasoline is composed of hydrocarbons and its make up is dependent upon the manufacturer. Its freezing point is much lower than anything you would find in nature on earth. Common gasoline has a flash point (lowest point of combustion) and -97F so its freezing point is at least below that.
I am out of oil with a delivery scheduled for tomorrow. I went out to the shed to get a 5 gallon can and found a 5 gallon kerosene can filled. I have no smell therefore can not tell if the clear liquid is kerosene or gasoline. I hate to throw it away if it is kerosene, I could burn it in the heater
Gasoline starts to burn at 495 F.
gasoline combined with air will explode, gasoline won't burn without air the fumes mixed with air will explode but the gasolin will burn
Rocks do burn just pour a gasoline and drop it in the fire.
Regular gasoline does not burn nearly fast enough for use in space vehicles.

Fire does not burn, its whatever if fueling the fire that burns. For example, wood is a fuel that burns, and fire is the result. The speed at which a fuel burns, depends on the fuel. i.e. Wood burns much slower than gasoline.
Neither - but when it does burn it's a chemical change.
No it is a chemical property
its ability to burn effectively
Oxygen and heat.
Carbon from the gasoline combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. Thehydrogen from the gasoline combines with oxygen to form water vapor.
There are three things needed for fire. Fuel (gasoline), a spark and oxygen. So your answer is oxygen.
