Doug,

Flash point is the temperature at which the substance will ignite, as from a
burning cigarette, under specified test conditions.  Localized conditions
including localized temperature variations, oxygen concentration, and the
presence of other volatile materials also need to be considered.  In
general, fully chlorinated solvents do not burn well - carbon tetrachloride
was used in fire extinguishers before its health hazards were understood.
The MSDS will give you some guidance.

Good morning all,
In my quest to ask the oddest question of the day:

If you threw a lit cigarette into a beaker of either trichloroethylene or
1,1,1-trichloroethane, would the liquids catch on fire?  What would be the
critical parameter in determining this?  Flash point?
