Whats the difference between `flammable` and `inflammable`?
357311
The two words are synonymous-looking in both the American Heritage and Webster's indicates that there is no difference between them, other than spelling.  However, in printing for warning labels, inflammable usually refers to something that can and will burn in high heat, while flammable usually means that it will catch fire more easily.  In general usage though, they are exactly the same.

exothermic\nexo means "out" thermic means related to heat. so it litereally means "heat out." it's easier to remember if you think about it that way.

Combustion is an oxidation process. That is, the addition of oxygen. Both H20 and CO2 are already oxidized as much as they can be by the chemical limits of the elements H & C, so they are no longer flammable.

since a "certain" soft metal on burning produces lime  lime cannot be an element . hence the answer is 'c'\nanswer : 'c'\n  note: the soft metal is calcium

Are you asking about flame (as in fire), or phlegm (mucous), or what?

FIRE is rapid oxidation.  It is a chemical reaction between oxygen  and other materials (solid or liquid).  The flame you see is the point at which the material is converted into a gas.  This point is called the sublime.\n  To maintain sublimation (flame) you must have a constant supply of materials (solid or liquid) and a constant supply of oxygen.  \n  Fire is made by raising the temperature of a material (solid or liquid) to its point of sublimation in an oxygen filled enviornment.\n  FYI,  RUST is slow oxidation

affect=how something is changed--can cooking at too high of a temperature affect the outcome?\neffect=the outcome---cooking at too high of a temperature will cause the effect of burning

Hi, \nWell, you have "feu" (in a fireplace for instance).\nThere is also "incendie" (forest). Depends of the context.

It's for the same reason that a building can burn up or burn down, or that inflammable means the same thing as flammable, or that some people's nose smells and feet run while other people's nose runs and feet smell - the English language is wacky!

Complete combustion produces a much hotter flame than incomplete combustion for a given amount of methane reacting.\n\nA flame undergoing complete combustion is typically much hotter and is usually light blue (non-luminous flame), as opposed to one which is undergoing incomplete combustion which is cooler and yellower (luminous flame).

Your question doesn't make sense to me.\ncinders-what is left after something is burnt.\nAsh- what is left after something is burnt.\nBombs- explosive devices\nBlocks- cuboids

A Christmas tree, assuming its dry is extremely flammable. Since Christmas trees are usually some type of conifer, there is a very high sap content, and therefore very flammable.

it means burn or burning for example: cauterize

Pyro- for fire, as in pyrotecnician\nPoly- for many as in polytheism(belief in multiple gods.)
