Why does yellow phosphorus catch fire on its own?
Yellow phosphorus can catch fire on its own when exposed to air because it is highly reactive. It reacts with oxygen in the air to form phosphorus pentoxide, releasing energy in the form of heat. This heat can ignite the phosphorus, causing it to burst into flames.
What is the difference between the flash point and autoignition temperature in terms of their significance in determining the flammability of a substance?
The flash point is the temperature at which a substance gives off enough vapor to ignite briefly when exposed to a flame or spark, indicating its flammability. The autoignition temperature is the temperature at which a substance will spontaneously ignite without an external ignition source. The flash point helps determine how easily a substance can catch fire, while the autoignition temperature indicates the temperature at which a substance can ignite on its own, without needing an external flame or spark.
Is bromine combustible?
It is not combustible, but it may burn many other materials
Can chapstick and oxygen start a fire?
No, chapstick and oxygen alone would not be able to start a fire. A fire typically requires a fuel source, heat, and an ignition source. Chapstick is not flammable on its own, and oxygen is not combustible.
When calcium metal is added to water the gas evolved doesn't catch fireBut the same gas evolved on adding sodium metal to watar catches firewhy it so?
The gas evolved when calcium is added to water is hydrogen gas, which does not catch fire on its own. However, when sodium is added to water, it reacts more vigorously to produce hydrogen gas, which can ignite due to the heat released during the reaction. Sodium is more reactive than calcium, leading to a more exothermic reaction that can ignite the hydrogen gas.
Where do fire engines get their diesel from. Is it kept on site or do they go to petrol stations?
In the UK, all fire stations have their own on-site tanks.
Why does yellow phosphorus catch fire on its own?
Yellow phosphorus can catch fire on its own when exposed to air because it is highly reactive. It reacts with oxygen in the air to form phosphorus pentoxide, releasing energy in the form of heat. This heat can ignite the phosphorus, causing it to burst into flames.
Is having a teddy bear a fire hazzard?
No. Nothing on a bear can combust, explode or catch fire all on its own.
Why doesn't large amounts of timber catch fire in lumberyard on their own?
Large amounts of timber in a lumberyard typically don't catch fire on their own due to several factors. First, wood requires a specific combination of moisture content, temperature, and oxygen to ignite. Most timber is stored in a way that reduces exposure to direct heat sources, and the natural moisture content in the wood can help prevent spontaneous combustion. Additionally, fire safety measures, such as proper storage and spacing between stacks, further reduce the risk of fire.
What if neighbor's house catch on fire then yours but your neighbor has no insurance?
If you have fire insurance on your own home you will be covered under your own policy. You don't need to worry about whether the neighbors house has insurance or not. It does not affect the coverage you have under your own policy.
What is better to use if you own a car gas or petrol?
I thought gasoline and petrol were the same thing.
At what temperature does a microfiber towel experience spontaneous combustion?
Microfiber towels do not spontaneously combust at a specific temperature. The material itself does not ignite on its own. However, if a microfiber towel is exposed to an external heat source, it can catch fire like any other fabric when it reaches its ignition point, typically around 700 degrees Fahrenheit.
Do shell petrol station extract their own oil?
maybe;]

Which factor might you consider in the decision to own an automobile?
Cost of petrol
What do you save of petrol?
ensted of useing own vehilals we can depend on busses
Can fire have its own shadow?
Fire gives off its own light and will not have its own shadow, but the smoke from a fire can create a pretty big shadow.
