The ignition temperature of a substance is lower than the room temperature what will happen?

• Let us first understand the meaning of ignition temperature of a substance. Ignition temperature is defined as the minimum temperature at which the substance will catch fire.

• Now according to the question if the ignition temperature of a substance is lower than the room temperature, then the substance will catch fire at the room temperature itself and will undergo spontaneous combustion.

• Spontaneous combustion is the type of combustion in which the substance burns without any external agent causing it to burn.

• It is advisable to store such temperature in kerosene or any other inert liquid to prevent the accidental fires or spontaneous combustion of such substances.
