because it has short-chain hydrocarbons
What else can I help you with?
Is petrol a gas?
Petrol is a volatile liquid. The vapours mixed with oxygen are highly combustible.
Why is petrol running out?
It is a highly volatile liquid and is continuously evaporated out,even at room temperature.
Why cant you smoke in a petrol station?
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.
What gas is in a car?
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.
Is petrol a liquid or a gas?
Petrol is a liquid. It is a refined product derived from crude oil and is commonly used as fuel for vehicles.
Is petrol more volatile than diesel?
yes
Which catches fire more quickly petrol or diesel?
petrol has a lower flash point and is more volatile than diesel.
What is the shape of a volatile liquid?
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.
What is the most volatile gas?
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.
Will a volatile liquid explode?
"Volatile liquid" simply means that it evaporates easily. Some such liquids may be explosive, others not.
How does petrol evaporate faster than water?
It is more volatile than water.
Does petrol or spirit evaporate faster?
Petrol evaporates faster than water at room temperature. this is because the boiling point of petrol is 95oC and water's boiling point is 100oC. As the boiling point of water is higher than that of petrol, petrol evaporates faster as it achieves its boiling point before water does.
