Will books stored in an extremely hot attic (in a rubbermaid tote) combust?

no. Paper requires heat of 420 degrees or so to combust. Wood goes up at the same temp. You may ruin the books due to decomp of paper at those temps found in an attic...yellowing of paper, brittle, etc., but not fire.

Depending on the damage it could be the pressure isn't being released.  This can lead to a big explosion if it exceeds the pressure limits for the cooker.

yes just keep it away from the furnace

You never get used to those god-forsaken things, hun.  That's why the best rack is always the top one... preferably where there aren't any pipes and vents overhead.  Prime sleeping real estate.

From my understanding, (I could be mistaken..)  You could launder the items, although putting them in the dryer would easily cause a fire or explosion.  I would seek out a dry cleaner to see if there are any plausible options in that end.

Yes. It will superheat and have a violent reaction when something touches it.

Wow! What a trip! Trask is going to melt like the wicked witch on the Wizard of Oz. I hope he doesn't leave a mess! I'd hate to have to clean it up!

No, it won't explode unless you get a flame next to it, You should be safe as far as the fumes, but make sure you are outside if you drain the gas tank. Don't drive the car until you drain the tank, and make sure the tank is clean, bleach can cause rust in the tank and that can really mess up the motor in your car.\n\nP.S. Find the boy and make him do it, if there are toxic fumes from draining the tank, you just kill two birds with one stone. LOL

If they are heated under really hot temperatures, they will melt.

Storing household poisons?

Place it in an asbestos sleeve...that should cool it off for a while so it doesn't burn a hole in your pocket.  :)

They should not be able "go bad" as you said if you can make them dry so the moisture can go out. Inside there is powder which will triggers flashes, booms, and colors. When they are damp, they don't won't work as well because moisture will make fire not able to light that easily.

no, they've have to be in a very hot fire. but if that were the case then yes, the projectile could hurt someone, unless they were in wooden boxes then the effects would be confined within the packaging.

Fire is oxidation of a material at a fast rate. The aluminum foil you put in the stove getx a coat of aluminum oxide on it and then goes no further as a gas oven is not hot enough to "burn" aluminum. Aluminum can be burned if one gets the temperature hot enough. This is called the thermite reaction and happens when finely divided aluminum, such as shavings is mixed with iron oxide (rust) and the mixture set afire with a fuse perhaps made from thin strips of magnesium metal. The iron oxide or rust becomes iron metal again and the aluminum becomes aluminum oxide or alumina. The heat is intense enough to melt iron.Such reactions are used in industry to perform welding. It is all quite dangerous and a person not familiar with the laws of chemistry may become blinded by the light of the reactions involved or harmed by server burns. Do not try this at home.

If there is combustion, there will be SO2.  The temperature will depend on the construction of the system, distance to chimney,etc.  The temperature of the flame will be constant depending on the type of oil.

It should say right on the label on the tank that you must not store the tanks indoors. If one of the valves failed or was opened up by a small child, it could spark and make a huge explosion. . . not to mention it would poison your house with the gas.\nThat is why you always see those "exchange a tank" places keeping their tanks outside. (Like at Home Depot)

i wouldnt worry about that.  what you should be concerned with is the toxic gasses coming from the burning plastic.  you can literaly die from some of the more exotic stuff you could accidentally breathe in.
