Answer:

Lower explosive limit (LEL) of ethanol = 3.3%

Explanation:

In the case of alcohol, ethanol presents certain fire hazards. Its momentary flash point is 55ºF (12.9ºC), while the momentary flash point of gasoline is -45ºF (-42.8ºC), and the E85 mixture ranges between -20ºF and -4ºF (between -28 , 9ºC and -20ºC), and has a wider range of flammability limits than gasoline. For emergency response teams, this implies that during a release of the typical ethanol / gasoline mixture, the fuel can be expected to behave like gasoline: It is heavier than air - as we mentioned earlier - and can produce vapors and form flammable mixtures in the air, under most environmental conditions.

General properties and comparison with other inflambles products:

Flash point momentary Gasoline = -45 ° F

<u>Ethanol</u> = 55 ° F

E 85 = between -20º and -4º F

<u>Flammability limits </u>

Lower explosive limit (LEL) of ethanol = 3.3%

Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) = 19%

Lower explosive limit (LEL) of the mixture E 85 = 1.4%

Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) 85 = 19%

Lower explosive limit (LEL) of gasoline = 1.4%

Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) = 7.6%

They have a wider range than gasoline

1.What does the Law of Conservation of Energy tells us?
lorasvet [3.4K]
1. Energy can neither be created or destroyed.
2. Conduction. Putting a pot of water on a hot burner. Convection. Putting your wet shoes over an air vent to dry them quicker. Radiation. Sitting in front of the fire to warm your hands up.
3. renewable sources can be used again and again, but non renewable sources cannot.
4. I would recommend solar energy. I think solar energy should be considered because solar energy can be reused, and also because they can use it to power their houses and they wouldn't need fossil fuels to do so.
5. Turn off the lights and open the windows during the day and if something is left plugged into the wall and it is not being used, unplug it.

hope I could help!
