10-The vapor phases of liquids such as acetone and alcohol are more flammable than their liquid phases. For flammable liquids, what is the relationship between evaporation rate and the likelihood that the liquid will burn?
The relationship between the evaporation rate and the likelihood that the liquid will be flammable is its flash point number (or the lowest temperature for which the liquid ignites) and its activation energy (how much energy is required to ignite it). With volatile liquids or gases these numbers seem to be lower.
