Solution

The fire point of an oil is typically about 10°C to 30°C higher than the flash point.

Here are the steps to understand this:

  1. Flash Point: This is the lowest temperature at which the vapors of a volatile material will ignite when given an ignition source.

  2. Fire Point: This is the temperature at which the vapors of the oil continue to burn for at least 5 seconds after ignition by an open flame.

  3. In general, the fire point is higher because more energy is required to make the oil vapors continue to burn.

  4. The exact difference between the fire point and flash point can vary depending on the specific type of oil, but a typical range is about 10°C to 30°C.
