What else can I help you with?
Is propane a mixture?
no.. propane is a natural gas.. the only thing added is mercaptin, which is the scent you smell when you smell propane. it is added for safety reasons because propane gas is naturally odorless
What else can smell like propane besides propane keep smelling it can not find leaks?
The chemical that is added to propane to make it have that rotten smell is Methanethiol. It is released for some types of plants when they are rotting. Methanethiol gas is listed on the Material Safety Data Sheet to be flammable, so if there is a large amount of gas hanging in the air it has the potential to combust. sewer gas is often mistaken for propane check you water traps in plumbing that isn't used often
Does propane have a smell?
Yes. But circumstances may not let you smell it. See related link. Not all propane has ethyl mercaptan added to it for the smell. A great deal of propane is used as a propellant in aerosols and is odor free as it is in its natural state.
Is ethyl mercaptan toxic used in propain tank for water?
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 chemical is present in LPG?
Varieties of LPG bought and sold include mixes that are primarily propane (C3H8), primarily butane (C4H10) and, most commonly, mixes including both propane and butane, depending on the season - in winter more propane, in summer more butane. So that people can smell the gas (for safety) chemicals that smell are added - ethanethiol, thiophene and amyl mercaptan.

no.. propane is a natural gas.. the only thing added is mercaptin, which is the scent you smell when you smell propane. it is added for safety reasons because propane gas is naturally odorless
If your propane tank was at 40 percent and the propane company filled your tank to 80 percent how many gallons did they put in your tank?
If your propane tank was at 40 percent and the propane company filled it to 80 percent, they added 40 percent of the tank's capacity in propane. The amount of gallons added would depend on the size of the tank, as propane tanks come in various sizes.
What are some components of propane?
Liquified propane sold as fuel in the US must be at least 90% pure propane; the rest is typically butane, propylene (5% maximum) and ethyl mercaptan, which is added to give it a noticeable and characteristic odor.
Does propane contain carbon?
no there is absolutely zero methane in propane. the only thing added to propane is mercaptin, which gives it its odor because propane is naturaly odorless
How much mercaptan needs to be added to 1000000 gallons of propane?
980 000 ppm
What is the difference between green gas and propane for airsoft?
Green gas is just propane with some oil added to it. You can get a propane adaptor and use propane. Edit: The oil in question is silicone oil. Also, propane often has an additive called ethyl mercaptan, which causes its pungent smell. Green gas generally has a less strong smell, or none.
Does propane fumes smell like car exhaust fumes?
A "smell" is added to propane the same as a "smell" is added to natural gas. Some people describe it as being like old cabbage. I can attest that it is not pleasant and unless you have very poor sense of smell you will notice it. Don't ignore it if you do. Propane is heavier than air and will lie in a low area and is very combustible.
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.
Can you use a propane tank as a nozz or n2o tank?
The answer is NO LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is stored at around 150-200psi. Nitrous Oxide is stored at around 800psi A propane tank is simply not strong enough to contain N2O. If one would use N20 in a propane tank the tank would rupture before any sizable amount of "giggle gas" would be added. -CJP
Why is there a faint odor around your propane fireplace?
A faint odor around a propane fireplace could be due to gases like sulfur dioxide or mercaptan, added to propane for safety to detect leaks. It could also be from dust or debris burning off during initial use. Regular maintenance and ventilation can help reduce odors.
