∙ 16y agoAbraham Gesner, a Canadian geologist, is credited with inventing kerosene in 1846. He developed a process to distill and refine petroleum to create a more efficient lighting fuel than whale oil.
Kerosene floats on top of water because it is less dense than water. This is due to the fact that kerosene has a lower density than water, causing it to stay on top when the two liquids are combined.
The word equation for the oxidation reaction of kerosene is: Kerosene + Oxygen -> Carbon Dioxide + Water + Heat.
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.

The kerosene stove was invented by a factory mechanic in Stockholm, Sweden by the name of Frans Wilhelm Lindqvist. When it was developed, it was originally called a Primus Stove, and was modeled after the blowtorch. He developed the stove in 1892.
No one invented it ...... kerosene is the main fuel used as aviation fuel in most f the aircrafts.
Kerosene was invented in the early 19th century. It was first produced by refining crude oil in 1846 by Canadian geologist Abraham Pineo Gesner.
The kerosene lamp was invented in the early 1800s, with the first practical version patented in 1855 by Abraham Pineo Gesner. This invention provided a safer and more efficient source of lighting compared to candles or oil lamps, leading to its widespread use in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
In the late 19th and early 20th century oil was distilled to produce kerosene for lanterns and the byproducts was gasoline

You get the lantern and light it with the kerosene.
The odor of kerosene is "aromatic".
