What Chemical added to detect any leakage of LPG is?

Not sure about chemical? But there are highly sensitivity alarm metres for detecting the leakage of liquid petroleum gas (LPG, butane, propane etc), and natural gas. One method I once used to find a leaking joint on a gas cooker was to apply washing-up liquid round the joints until a joint bubbling up pin-pointed the leak.

What is a gas syringe and how is it used?

A gas syringe is basically a device that fills up with a gas that is produced and gives a volume for that gas. Gas from a reaction is forced into the syringe due to pressure and the syringe plunger is forced out (just like how you suck up a liquid with a normal syringe). It can be used to detect the volume of gas produced in a chemical reaction for instance.See the Web Links to the left for more information.
