That is not a very clear question. Are you asking if the materials left in a propane tank could be toxic if you use the tank for water? If so, then the answer is yes, but you are not going to be having a lot of ethyl mercaptan. An old propane tank can contain a significant amount of hydrocarbons, usually in the gasoline and diesel boiling point range.

What is the solubility of ethyl acetate in water?
Solubility of ethyl acetate (ethyl ethanoate) in water is 8.3 g/100 mL at 20 °C.
What observation is expected if the sample of water is soluble in the ethyl acetate?
You get an ethyl acetate in water solution
What solvent can be used with polyvinyl alcohol?
Polyvinyl acetate is soluble in a number of organic solvents. Solubility of polyvinyl acetate is directly related to the volatility of the solvent; the more volatile the solvent, the more soluble the polyvinyl acetate. Some of the most common solvents, ranked in order from the most volatile to the least, are listed below.1. diethyl ether (very volatile, water miscible) 2. acetone (best solvent that is commonly used) 3. benzene (very toxic) 4. ethylene dichloride (very toxic, non-water miscible) 5. methanol (toxic, cumulative poison) 6. methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) (toxic) 7. ethanol (denatured alcohols may be toxic) 8. toluene (slightly toxic) 9. xylene (slightly toxic) 10. amyl acetate (slightly water miscible) 11.ethyl acetate
What floats in ethyl alcohol?
Ethyl alcohol has a specific gravity of 0.78, so it will float on water (1). Olive oil is 0.703 so it will float on ethyl alcohol.
Why methane mercaptan has a lower boiling point than methanol even though methyl mercaptan has a higher molecular weight?
For the same reason that water isn't a gas. Oxygen is highly electronegative and the hydrogen bonding present in water and methanol raises the intermolecular attractive forces and results in a higher boiling point.
If you inject the smelling agent Ethyl Mercaptan into propane will it be toxic and adhere itself to the metal tank?
When produced propane and butane is odorless and colorless. Ethyl mercaptan is the odorant added to propane and butane in the processing and refining process to provide a detectable odor. Under certain conditions the odorant in propane may oxidize and lose its destictive odor. This odor fade can occur in new steel containers when first placed into service and in older steel containers that have been left open to the atmosphere. Air, water, or rust in a propane tank or cylinder can also reduce propane odor concentration. Ethyl mercaptan is toxic although the amount added to propane is non-threatening.
When was mercaptan first used in natural gas?
"Historically, first gas odorization was carried out in Germany in 1880's by Von Quaglio who used ethyl mercaptan for detecting gas leakages of blue water gas."
Ethyl mercaptan burns to produce what which gas?
On combustion: C2H6S + 6O2 ---> 2CO2 + 3H2O + SO2 All of the products of the reaction (carbon dioxide, water, sulphur dioxide) are gases
What is denser ethyl acetate or water?
water is more dense than ethyl acetate , so water remains on bottom and ethyl acetate on top when both mixed.
What is the solubility of ethyl acetate in water?
Solubility of ethyl acetate (ethyl ethanoate) in water is 8.3 g/100 mL at 20 °C.
What observation is expected if the sample of water is soluble in the ethyl acetate?
You get an ethyl acetate in water solution
What ester forms when ethyl alcohol and formic acid react?
The products from the reaction of n-amyl alcohol and acetic acid are ethyl pentanoate (an ester) and water. CH3COOH + CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH ==> CH3COOCH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 + H2O acetic acid + n-amyl alcohol ==> ethyl propanoate + water
What solvent can be used with polyvinyl alcohol?
Polyvinyl acetate is soluble in a number of organic solvents. Solubility of polyvinyl acetate is directly related to the volatility of the solvent; the more volatile the solvent, the more soluble the polyvinyl acetate. Some of the most common solvents, ranked in order from the most volatile to the least, are listed below.1. diethyl ether (very volatile, water miscible) 2. acetone (best solvent that is commonly used) 3. benzene (very toxic) 4. ethylene dichloride (very toxic, non-water miscible) 5. methanol (toxic, cumulative poison) 6. methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) (toxic) 7. ethanol (denatured alcohols may be toxic) 8. toluene (slightly toxic) 9. xylene (slightly toxic) 10. amyl acetate (slightly water miscible) 11.ethyl acetate
What is more polar either ethyl-acetate or pet-ether?
on basis of solubility in water. ethyl acetate.
What floats in ethyl alcohol?
Ethyl alcohol has a specific gravity of 0.78, so it will float on water (1). Olive oil is 0.703 so it will float on ethyl alcohol.
What scientific technique is applied to obtain ethyl alcohol from the mixture of ethyl alcohol and water?
The common method is distillation.
What is main ingredient of vodka?
Ethyl-alcohol and water.
