It is the lowest temperature at which a flammable liquid can receive an ignition source and be ignitable. However, once the ignition source is removed, the flammable nature may cease and the flame stop. At temperatures slightly higher, it is when an ignition source is introduced and the ignition source is removed that the flammable liquid continues to burn regardless of the ignition source. The lowest temperature at which a flammable liquid (e.g. gasoline) becomes capable of catching fire in the air. The correct term applied to non-liquids is the autoignition temperature or kindling point.
Nitrogen gas is not in itself flammable, and does not have an auto ignition temperature.
yes.
It is not the flammable liquid that ignites, but the vapors (or vapours for our British cousins) that ignite. Vapor can travel a considerable distance from the liquid to an unforeseen source of ignition, and flash back when ignited. They can fill a large area, with a resulting LARGE fire when ignited. The distinction between flammable and combustible is the "flash point" the temperature at which the liquid gives off an ignitable vapor- flammables have a flash point below 100 degrees F. Many flammable liquid vapors are heavier than air, and can settle into the bilges of a boat, awaiting ignition.
The auto-ignition temperature of a flammable mixture is the lowest temperature at which it will spontaneously ignite without an external ignition source, such as a flame or spark. It varies depending on the specific components of the mixture, but it is typically in the range of 300-500 degrees Celsius for most flammable gases and vapors.

The flash point of a flammable liquid is the lowest temperature at which the liquid can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture with air. It is a critical property used to assess the fire hazard of the liquid; a lower flash point indicates a higher risk of ignition. Flash points can vary significantly among different substances and are determined through standardized testing methods. Understanding the flash point is essential for safe handling, storage, and transportation of flammable liquids.
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.
Formaldehyde is liquid at room temperature.
Yes, incense oil is a flammable liquid. It contains volatile compounds that can easily catch fire when exposed to an ignition source. It is important to handle and store incense oil with caution to prevent accidents.
Simple: a liquid which is flammable.
If a liquid is flammable it will burn. Flammable means can catch on fire.
