The flammablilty of liquids is measured by flash point this is the minimum temperature in which a spark will ignite it. Gasoline which is a mixture has a flash point of around 0 degrees C. One of the most flammable liquids, Diethyl ether has a flash point of -45 degrees so is much more flammable than gasoline.
What else can I help you with?
Is hydrogen more flammable than gasoline?
Yes, hydrogen is more flammable than gasoline.
What is flammable organic or inorganic?
Usually organic compounda are more flammable than inorganic
Which is more flammable kerosene gasoline lighter fluid or paint thinner?
I know for 101% sure that gasoline is the most flammable charcoal lighter fluid contains Kero and Naphtha that would be second,kero is 3rd, and paint thinner lets say Gum Turpentine an old school paint thinner is almost as flammable as kero so its 4th. But i know you can use Gum turpentine to fuel kerosene lamps.
Is hydrogen more explosive than gasoline?
Yes, hydrogen is more explosive than gasoline.
Why is Kerosine safer than Gasoline?
Kerosene is considered safer than gasoline because it has a higher flash point, which means it is less likely to ignite at normal temperatures. Additionally, kerosene produces less flammable vapors compared to gasoline, reducing the risk of accidental fires or explosions.
Is hydrogen more flammable than gasoline?
Yes, hydrogen is more flammable than gasoline.
Why does gasoline 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.
Is gasoline volatile?
Yes, gasoline is volatile because it can easily evaporate into the air at normal temperatures. This volatility is what makes gasoline highly flammable and able to ignite easily.
What is flammable organic or inorganic?
Usually organic compounda are more flammable than inorganic
What is a sentence with the word gasoline in it?
Gasoline is very flammable.
Is gasoline more explosive than gas?
In general gasoline is not more explosive then gas although it depends on the conditions and the gas. Probably you are referring to natural gas, the gas piped into homes which is predominantly methane. In general flammable gasses are more explosive than flammable liquids because they are mixed up with atmospheric oxygen. This is why modern cars have fuel injection which sprays the petrol to make it more easily combustible. In fact liquid petrol is not explosive at all but because it is volatile a layer of vapour forms above the surface of the liquid which is explosive. The mix of fuel and oxygen is the critical factor in whether something is explosive. Some gases, such as the noble gases are not flammable at all.
Which is more flammable kerosene gasoline lighter fluid or paint thinner?
I know for 101% sure that gasoline is the most flammable charcoal lighter fluid contains Kero and Naphtha that would be second,kero is 3rd, and paint thinner lets say Gum Turpentine an old school paint thinner is almost as flammable as kero so its 4th.

How flammable is diesel mixed with gasoline?
Diesel fuel itself will burn but you really can't call it flammable. When you add gasoline to it, the flammability greatly increases with the amount of gasoline you add.
Are liquids flammable?
Not all liquids are flammable. Some liquids that are flammable are gasoline, alcohol, oil. Liquids like water are not flammable.
Why do cars work with gasoline and not water?
Because water is not a flammable substance and gasoline is.
Why should you not spill gasoline?
It's flammable.
Why are fire trucks and paramedic trucks diesel?
It's much more efficient (higher BTU rating in diesel than in unleaded gasoline), and it's much less flammable.
