Kerosene reacts with an ample supply of oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide from all the carbon content of kerosene and water from all the hydrogen content of kerosene.
Kerosene, as with other liquid fossil fuels can be dyed in various colours
Powdered soap does not dissolve in kerosene as kerosene is a non-polar solvent, while soap is made of polar molecules. This difference in polarity prevents the soap from dissolving in kerosene.
The specific gravity of kerosene typically ranges from 0.78 to 0.82, depending on the type and temperature of the kerosene. This value indicates that kerosene is less dense than water, as water has a specific gravity of 1.
