Keep in mind that propane is a gas a room temperature only if the pressure is low - for instance, normal atmospheric pressure.

Propane in a pressurized tank (such as a barbeque tank, or a fork lift truck fuel tank) is usually liquid even though it is at room temperature, and is then referred to as LPG or Liquified Propane Gas. It becomes a gas instantly upon being released from the tank or cylinder.

What is the boiling point of hexane?

Think in terms of room temperature. Hexane is a liquid that is flammable, but is used in cleaning solvents and stuff like around the garage. Propane is the gas that comes in a steel bottle that you use for gas stoves and barbeque grills. So if you let propane out into the room its a gas and so it already past its boiling point. So the boiling point of Hexane is hotter than room temperature and the boiling point of propane is lower than room temperature. The actual numbers are 69 C and -42 C.


Is propane gas liquid or gas?

Propane is a gas a room temperature if it is not compressed. However, if it put in a canister under high enough pressure, it will be a liquid even at room temperature. Propane is a liquid below -44 degrees F or if its compressed. Grill bottles are only fillid 80% full with liquid. so you can use the propane gas on the top of the bottle.

What makes the hissing sound when turning on the propane on your grill?

The propane is a volatile liquid that turns to gas (evaporates) at room temperature. There is always some gas in the space above the liquid level in the tank, and this pressure is released when you open the valve. The propane burns in its gaseous form, as does natural gas.


How many btu's are needed for a propane heater to raise air temperature to 120 degrees Fahrenheit in a 13x15 room?

That's going to depend on - the beginning temperature in the room, before you light the heater - the relative humidity inside the room - the height of the room, floor to ceiling - the rate of heat loss ('R'-value) of the floor, ceiling, and walls - the temperature outside the room - the means of air circulation in use inside the room. In general, unless the temperature outside the room is 120 or higher, you can never turn off the heater for good.
