Two important characteristics used to evaluate risks of

Chapter 12, Problem 12.120

(choose chapter or problem)

Two important characteristics used to evaluate risks of fire or explosion are a compounds lower flammable limit (LFL) and flash point. The LFL is the minimum percentage by volume in air that is ignitable. Below that, the mixture is too lean to burn. The flash point is the temperature at which the air over a confined liquid becomes ignitable. n-Hexane boils at 68.7C at 1 atm. At 20.0C, its vapor pressure is 121 mmHg. The LFL of n-hexane is 1.1%. Calculate the flash point of n-hexane.
