The flashpoint of Jet A fuel is:

A. -100 degrees Fahrenheit
B. 10 degrees Fahrenheit
C. 100 degrees Fahrenheit
D. 1000 degrees Fahrenheit

Answer :

The flashpoint of a fuel is defined as the lowest temperature at which its vapors will ignite when exposed to a flame. For Jet A fuel, the flashpoint is known to be around

[tex]$$100^\circ \text{Fahrenheit}.$$[/tex]

Let's break down the reasoning:

1. We know that the temperature at which Jet A fuel produces enough vapors to ignite safely and rapidly is approximately [tex]$100^\circ \text{F}$[/tex].

2. Among the provided options, the value of [tex]$100^\circ \text{F}$[/tex] appears twice, but the important information is that the flashpoint itself is [tex]$100^\circ \text{F}$[/tex].

3. Therefore, the correct answer is:

[tex]$$\boxed{100}.$$[/tex]
