because it has short-chain hydrocarbons
Petrol is a volatile liquid. The vapours mixed with oxygen are highly combustible.
It is a highly volatile liquid and is continuously evaporated out,even at room temperature.
You can't smoke in a petrol station because petrol especially has very volatile vapours. In theory petrol in the liquid where the air is controled will put out a flame which is beneth it. Petrol is at it's most dangerous in it's vapour and therefore smoking is a no no in petrol stations.
Petrol is what is usually meant by 'gas' in the U.S. It's not a gas when it's in the tank, it's a volatile liquid,but it becomes a gas in the cylinders.
Petrol is a liquid. It is a refined product derived from crude oil and is commonly used as fuel for vehicles.
yes
petrol has a lower flash point and is more volatile than diesel.
A volatile liquid typically has a low boiling point, causing it to vaporize easily at room temperature. The shape of a volatile liquid in a container will depend on factors such as gravity, surface tension, and any external forces acting on it.
Someliquidshavetendencyto to get turned intovapor form at normal room temperature and pressure.Our cloths became dry due to escape of water molecules in air. Hot and dry air make water more volatile. Gasoline (petrol)is volatile as it rapidly turn into vapor andkerosene is not. Alcohol is also volatile. In high altitude, due to less atmospheric pressure all these becomes more volatile. Higher the boiling point, less volatile the substance is.
"Volatile liquid" simply means that it evaporates easily. Some such liquids may be explosive, others not.
It is more volatile than water.
Quality or state of being volatile; disposition to evaporate; changeableness; fickleness.
