What cooking oil is the most flammable?

Can butter be substituted in place of vegetable oil in baking strawberry cake?
I have often interchanged 'fats' when baking depending on what I had on hand. Sometimes it slightly changed the texture of the final product, but sometimes it didn't. Butter has a higher level of saturated fat so vegetable oil would be lighter, but I've never had a problem by substituting one for the other.
I'm not sure it's necessary, but when I've made this substitution I've always melted the butter before measuring. (Be sure to let it cool slightly before adding to batter so that it doesn't scramble the egg(s).)
Does oil have chemicals inside?
Vegetable fats and oils are lipid materials derived from plants. Physically, oils are liquid at room temperature, and fats are solid. Chemically, both fats and oils are composed of triglycerides, as contrasted with waxes which lack glycerin in their structure. Although many different parts of plants may yield oil,[1] in commercial practice, oil is extracted primarily from seeds.
The melting temperature distinction between oils and fats is imprecise, since definitions of room temperature vary, and typically natural oils have a melting range instead of a single melting point since natural oils are not chemically homogenous. Although thought of as esters of glycerin and a varying blend of fatty acids, fats and oils also typically contain free fatty acids, mono- and di- glycerides, and unsaponifiable lipids.
Vegetable fats and oils may or may not be edible. Examples of inedible vegetable fats and oils include processed linseed oil, tung oil, and castor oil used in lubricants, paints, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other industrial purposes.

Canola (canada oil) Oil is processed from the seed of the rape weed. Originally it was used as a synthetic motor oil. "Raw" rapeseed oil is high in erucic acid, a known carcinogen, and must be processesd to reduce the erucic acid content. This cooking oil was originally marketed as Lear Oil, low-Erucic Acid Rapeseed Oil, but later was named Canola oil when marketed to the United States. One of the best selling oils in the US at the time was Mazola Corn oil. So Can(ada) (Maz)ola became the marketing brand.

Does vegetable oil freeze faster than water?
Yes because oil is thicker than water and is closer to being solid.
2nd Answer:
Viscosity or "thickness" has nothing to do with the freezing point. For instance, corn oil freezes at -20 degrees C. Water freezes at 0 degrees C, and coconut oil freezes at +25.4 degrees C.
So water freezes sooner than some veggie oils and later than others.
