chapter 3 and 4 cpcdi7

The lowest temperature at which a substance gives off vapor that burns momentarily (when a flame or spark is applied) is called the __________-

• FLASH POINT

• FIRE POINT

• IGNITION POINT

If a substance automatically burns without any human or mechanical intervention, the temperature of the substance has been spontaneously increased until it reaches the ____________ 

• FIRE POINT

• FLASH POINT

• AUTO IGNITION POINT

It is the matter produced by fire and is composed of burning incandescent gases.

• heat

• fuel

• flame

REDDISH-ORANGE in color; it deposits soot because it is a product of incomplete combustion; it has lower temperature.

• non luminous

• luminous flame

• pre mixed flame

It refers to the chemical process whereby fire consumes the most solid part of the fuel.

• flash over

• backdraft

• pyrolysis

The transfer could be to another object or to another portion of the same object.

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

Heat transfer by the movement of liquids or gasses.

• radiation

• convection

• conduction

The measure of the thermal degree of the agitation of molecules of a given substance; the measure of the molecular activity within the substance.

• temperature

• specific heat

• boiling point

The measure of the thermal degree of the agitation of molecules of a given substance; the measure of the molecular activity within the substance.

• boiling point

• boiling temperature

• conduction

These are changes whereby energy is absorbed or is added before the reaction takes place.

• exothermic

• endothermic

• combustion
